Last weekend, we opened up our historical keyboard collection to artists from Source Song Festival—and got to hear these remarkable instruments come alive. ✨

Six singers and keyboard players had the rare opportunity to perform lieder on instruments like our 1824 Bechstein grand piano, experiencing the repertoire as its composers and performers originally would have.

We sat down with coach Javier Arrebola and pianist Nevin Bender to hear what it’s like to perform Schubert on a nearly 200-year-old instrument—and how its quirks, challenges, and unexpected possibilities can open up new ways of hearing familiar music.

This week marked the end of Artistic and Executive Director Barry Kempton's remarkable 14+ years at the helm of Schubert Club.

Saying goodbye is never easy, but Tuesday evening's celebration was a beautiful opportunity to reflect on Barry's extraordinary leadership, hear tributes from friends and colleagues, and enjoy performances by Clara Osowski, Bradley Greenwald, and Casey Rafn.

Barry, thank you for your vision, your dedication, and the countless ways you've strengthened Schubert Club. Your impact will be felt by artists, audiences, and students for many years to come.

We are deeply grateful, and we wish you all the best in your next chapter. ❤️
