During 2026 the Cape Town Concert Series (CTCS) presents a season of concerts focused around its Steinway Grand Piano - which turns 65 this year and is considered one of the finest recital pianos in the country. To set the scene for this piano-focused season of concerts, the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra’s Artistic Director, Erik Dippenaar, presents a solo recital for the CTCS that takes the audience on a journey through the history of the keyboard instruments that existed before the piano. Dippenaar will play several early keyboard instruments, including harpsichords in two different styles, an octave spinetto and a copy of a 16th century regal. The repertoire ranges from the 1560’s until the 1770’s, including popular harpsichord works such as Handel’s Harmonious Blacksmith variations and Couperin’s Les Barricades Mystérieuses, but also lesser known pieces that shows off the variety of textures and colours of early keyboard instruments.
Audiences will have the unique opportunity to explore the instruments on stage after the performance. Do not miss the opportunity to experience this unique and varied recital!
Date and Time: Saturday, 14 February 2026, 11:00-12:00
Venue: Baxter Concert Hall, Rosebank, Cape Town
Tickets: R100-R280
