Contemporary Harpsichordist, 
Christopher D. Lewis B.Mus (McGill' 09)

 
 I am the Welsh Contemporary Harpsichordist currently based in San Francisco, California. I was born in Rhiwbina, Wales and moved to North America to study music at McGill University, Montreal Quebec in 2005 under the guidance of harpsichordists Luc Beausejour & Hank Knox

In 2009, I became the first person ever at the Schulich School of Music to obtain a degree in contemporary harpsichord music.  In 2009, After half a decade of living in Canada I moved to California as an M.M candidate at the prestigious San Francisco Conservatory of Music under the guidance of Corey Jamason. 

As a recording artist my debut album "The New Fangled Clavier" was released through the New Mix Music label in 2010. The CD is available on this site and other major sites such as Amazon(UK, US, CA), CDBaby & Itunes

 I pride myself on performing the most audience pleasing harpsichord music.  As a musicologist my area of expertise is pop harpsichord music and I have given lectures on the harpsichord throughout the 20th century and the pioneers that revived the instrument. Most importantly I discuss the future of the instrument.

Outside of the harpsichord world I enjoy music of all varieties, social networking and enjoying a glass of wine with friends!
