Jillon Stoppels Dupree, All Bach Recital

Jillon Stoppels Dupree

Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 7:00 pm
PONCHO Hall, 710 East Roy Street, Seattle, WA

Johann Sebastian Bach is often viewed as the consummate master of counterpoint, fugues, and other highly-structured forms. But Bach was also a composer of great expression, emotion and passion. This recital features Bach’s greatest expressive works for solo harpsichord, some of which are seldom performed. Included will be the Capriccio on the Departure of his Most Beloved Brother, BWV 992; the Sonata in D minor, BWV 964 (Bach’s own transcription of his A minor violin Sonata), and the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, BWV 903. The program will feature a 2002 Flemish-style harpsichord built by Kevin Fryer, copied after Johannes Ruckers, 1624.

Described as “one of the most outstanding early musicians in North America” (IONARTS) and “a baroque star” (Seattle Times), harpsichordist Jillon Stoppels Dupree has captivated audiences in cities ranging from London to Amsterdam to New York. Her world premiere recording of Philip Glass’s Concerto for Harpsichord and Chamber Orchestra with the Northwest Chamber Orchestra (heralded as “superb” by the New York Times) was released to high acclaim in fall of 2006 on the Orange Mountain Music label. Her playing can also be heard on the Meridian, Wild Boar, Decca and Delos record labels; and she has appeared live on BBC England, Polish National Television, CBS Television and National Public Radio

Ms. Dupree has been a featured artist at the highly-respected early music festivals of York (England), Boston and Berkeley, as well as at the National Music Museum, the Cleveland and Santa Barbara Museums of Art, and numerous universities and colleges. Her chamber music collaborations include performances with violinists Ingrid Matthews, Stanley Ritchie and Jaap Schröder; violists da gamba Wieland Kuijken and Margriet Tindemans; singers Julianne Baird, Ellen Hargis and Ann Monoyios; and recorder virtuosi Marion Verbruggen, Eva Legene and Vicki Boeckman. She is currently the harpsichordist with Magnificat Baroque Ensemble, based in the San Francisco Bay area, as well as with the Seattle Symphony. Her most recent season included a residency at Stanford University, a performance at the Bloomington Early Music Festival, and participation in the Gustav Leonhardt Tribute recital at the 2012 Berkeley Early Music Festival. A recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship and the National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalists grant, Ms. Dupree has taught at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, the University of Washington, and the University of Michigan. She is currently on the early music faculty at Seattle’s Cornish College of the Arts and is the founding director of the Gallery Concerts early music series in Seattle.
