Keith Womer, director of La Follia Austin Baroque, recently recorded a 30 minute video piece for KMFA Classical 89.5’s FaceBook Live series “Sound Ideas”, a youth outreach project. In it, he explores three of the harpsichords used in La Follia’s popular “Herd of Harpsichords” concerts, currently corralled at his home in Round Rock.

Learn what makes a harpsichord different than a piano, what makes Italian, French, and Franco-Flemish harpsichords different from one another, and what gives all harpsichords their special, magical sound.
