Recognized as one of the outstanding harpsichordists of his generation, Jory Vinikour’s highly-diversified career takes him to the world’s most important festivals, concert halls, and opera houses as recitalist and concerto soloist, partner to many of today’s finest instrumental and vocal artists, coach, and conductor. He joins WFMT to share his passion for French Baroque opera and to preview Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s David et Jonathas which he leads for Haymarket Opera Company later this month. Learn more HERE.
