Description

Centre de Recherche sur l’Interprétation au Clavecin (CRIC) (Research Centre for Harpsichord Performance) is a SSHRC-funded research project. Our main aim is to support innovative performance practices such as the use of a computerized harpsichord in concert and the realistic reproduction of a real performance in a different tuning. This workshop will serve as the introduction to this project. We will express our goals and present our current research. We will also have invited speakers present on related research topics and we will discuss various research issues with the workshop participants.
