This day offers a cross-cutting perspective, both artistic and musicological, on Roesgen-Champion and her remarkable contribution to the modern harpsichord repertoire. An exceptional exhibition in the Reading Room, created from the collections of the CMG-HEM Library, will trace her career and highlight the richness of her work, while placing her work in the context of harpsichordists of her time.
