About ‘Harpsichord en fête’: Concert with Diego Ares
Award-winning Diego Ares studied piano with Aleksandras Jurgelionis and Aldona Dvarionaitė. Since his introduction to harpsichord at the age of fourteen by Pilar Cancio, he worked with Richard Egarr, Carmen Schibli and Genoveva Gálvez. Between 2004 and 2010 he studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Diego performed internationally in Europe, Canada, and Japan and recorded for Columna Música, Pan Classics, and Harmonia Mundi.
Diego currently teaches harpsichord at Geneva’s Conservatoire de Musique. For his concert, Diego will be performing Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) from his most recent recording, which has been considered by several publications a substantial contribution to the work’s large discography.
