Kathleen McIntosh - Harpsichord

Harpsichordist Kathleen McIntosh has traveled widely, performing with such groups as the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin in Moscow, The Vietnam National Symphony in Hanoi, and Solistas de La Habana in Havana.  She has played in the Santa Fe Chamber Festival since 1996 and in the Bravo! Vail Valley Festival since 1999.  And she appears frequently with chamber groups, chamber orchestras and as a soloist throughout the western United States.  A resident of Santa Fe, she performs with Serenata de Santa Fe, Santa Fe Pro Musica and many other New Mexico based groups.  She is an enthusiastic proponent of contemporary music, and a member of the McFish Duo, which commissions new works for viola and harpsichord.  She records for Gasparo and Nova and has just completed two recordings for Maricam  Studios, one of sonatas of Antonio Soler and the other, selected works of J.S.Bach.

  The year ahead will include premieres of works by Erica Muhl and Will Averitt with McFish, and Henri Lazarof with violinist Christiane Edinger.

  The Los Angeles Reader wrote of her performance of J.S.Bach’s  “God\ldberg Variations” that “her nearly flawless technique” and “understated eloquence. . . produced revalatory results.”  Of her recording of the complete keyboard works of Boismortier, Continuo magazine said “A breathtakingly beautiful performance.”  Ms. McIntosh performs on instruments by John Phillips.
