"Harpsichordist Jason J. Moy holds the Bachelor of Harpsichord Performance and Master of Early Music Performance degrees from McGill University in Montreal, where he trained under Hank Knox and Luc Beauséjour. In addition to his principal teachers, he received much valuable guidance from Bruce Haynes, Jory Vinikour, and other mentors. Jason has concertized extensively in the United States, Canada, and Europe; currently based in his native Chicago, he wrapped up his Montreal sojourn this past year by performing J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, and the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto with the McGill Baroque Orchestra. While he loves the solo repertoire, particularly that of eighteenth-century Germany and France, Jason is especially fond of chamber music. His continuo playing, on organ and harpsichord, has been described as both “highly rhetorical” and “sensitive and very vibrant.” See website for more details. (ed.)
