Mill Talk: The Greater Boston School of Harpsichord Building

And exhibit opening: “Rediscovering Waltham’s Harpsichord History”

Presented by Mark Kroll, Professor Emeritus, Boston University.

Join us for the kickoff of this very special exhibition, which will examine the story of Frank and Diane Hubbard, founders and operators of Hubbard Harpsichords, manufacturers of instruments and kits for almost 50 years. Through their work, Greater Boston became a center of the revival of the harpsichord as an instrument and Early Music as a genre. Mark Kroll has written the definitive book chronicling this important period of music history and has collected dozens of firsthand accounts of the principal players, workers, and artisans associated with the big three harpsichord shops in Greater Boston: Hubbard in Waltham, William Dowd and Eric Herz, both in Cambridge.

This event is free to the pubic, but registration is required.
