One of the world’s leading young harpsichordists, Justin Taylor has released numerous award-winning solo recordings, and is one of the founders of the internationally renowned period ensemble, Le Consort. The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra’s artistic director Paul Dyer calls him "a true master of the harpsichord". He comes to the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra stage to be part of a rare performance of JS Bach’s Concerto for Four Harpsichords.

Justin speaks about the intricacies and subtleties of playing the harpsichord and other period keyboards.

Justin Taylor performs with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra in Sydney and Melbourne from 5-14 July.
