ANNOUNCEMENT
Free Square Piano Workshop Study Day: Friday, 27 July 2018
Focusing on the Adam Beyer Square Piano, London, 1777
This square piano, formerly at Finchcocks, was acquired by the Horniman Museum and Gardens in 2016 with the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). It is now under restoration by Lucy Coad in her workshop in Chippenham near Bath.
The Horniman Museum and the HLF are jointly sponsoring a Study Day at Lucy Coad’s workshop where the restoration of the piano to good playing order is in progress. The instrument, which will be at least partly disassembled, will be able to be viewed.
Lucy Coad will speak about practical aspects of the restoration, its documentation and the general approach towards the work.
Michael Cole, a specialist on square pianos and the work of Adam Beyer, will speak about the maker and his workshop.
Mimi Waitzman, Deputy Keeper of Musical Instruments at the Horniman Museum, will speak about the future of the piano at the Museum, its installation and planned engagement activities for 2019-20. Ideas about the scope and direction of future musical instrument-related activities at the Museum will be welcomed.
