Mahan Esfahani has made it his life’s mission to rehabilitate the harpsichord, bringing it into the mainstream of concert instruments. Performances by the Iranian-born harpsichordist leave critics breathless and audiences rapt—his light touch and superhuman agility conjuring interpretations that are “exquisite beyond measure” (Los Angeles Times).

We have long wanted to invite harpsichord innovator and Stanford alum Mahan Esfahani to perform on the series. Making up for lost time, audiences can experience his artistry and creative programming in two settings: with Viano and a solo recital where his creative programming choices can really shine.
