Harpsichordist
Elaine Funaro is regarded as one of the leading performers of new music for the harpsichord, yet her repertoire spans the entire history of the instrument, from a recording of Baroque music on a Kirckman harpsichord made in 1758 to numerous premieres of late 20th-century contemporary works.
Her commitment to showcasing both old and new unexplored repertoire of harpsichord music includes compositions by women and those based on indigenous musical forms from South America, South Africa and Japan. Elaine studied at Oberlin College, the New England Conservatory of Music, Il Conservatorio Cherubini in Florence, and the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam.
