Join us for a brief, free Wednesday Meditation at First Congregational Church on February 7 at 12:15 featuring Dr. Qin Ying Tan playing our beautiful Bechtel harpsichord.

Lauded by Cleveland Classical as "an excellent soloist, a compelling performer who is equally comfortable handling long strings of notes... and singing through emotive melodies with her instrument,” Dr. Qin Ying Tan currently serves as harpsichord faculty at Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music. She also works at the Historical Performance Practice Program at Case Western Reserve University.

Dr. Tan has appeared in concerts in Singapore, Shanghai, Germany, France, and has performed extensively across the United States of America. This season sees engagements with Hudson Historical Society and Library, City Music, the Historically-Informed Performance Practice Department at Case Western Reserve University, and the Baldwin-Wallace Bach Festival. In addition to her commitment to early repertoire, Tan regularly presents new music to her audiences and has premiered several pieces, most notable Cenk Ergun's sound installation piece, "Fomare" at the Cleveland Museum of Art and “Are You You” by Michi Wiancko with City Music. Her passion for sharing historical music has led her to lead dynamic workshops on baroque dance and historical keyboards in Southeast Asia where accessibility to period music is rare.
