Colin Tilney Celebrates LXXX

July 25, 2014 | 7:30pm | No pre-concert chatRoundhouse Community Centre | Map

Colin Tilney, harpsichord


“Tilney conveys an irresistible subtlety of expression.” (bach-cantatas.com)

Our opening concert for the 2014 Vancouver Early Music Festival is a rare recital by world-renowned keyboardist Colin Tilney. Turning 80 this year, Colin is a giant in early music: one of the first musicians to bring historically-informed performance to the general concertgoer’s awareness, and one of the few still actively performing today. He’ll perform Quinque by the South African composer Priaulx Rainier, Bach’s 6th English Suite, and elegant works by 18th-century French clavecinistes.

Presented in collaboration with the Queer Arts Festival.

Colin Tilney, harpsichord

Colin Tilney is an English early music keyboard player, an unusually active survivor of the first generation of musicians who brought the idea of historically informed performance to the general concertgoer's consciousness. His wide-ranging repertoire stretches from Elizabethan virginalists through Mozart to Louis Andriessen. A Deutsche Grammophon artist, he has made an acclaimed recording of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier and has recorded the complete keyboard works of Matthew Locke. His interests also extend to contemporary music, and he has commissioned works for harpsichord from various Canadian composers and from the British quasi-serialist Elisabeth Lutyens. In 2002, Tilney relocated to Victoria, British Columbia, where he teaches as an adjunct professor of harpsichord performance at the University of Victoria and serves as the resident harpsichordist for the Victoria Symphony.
