Composer Nathan Felix Virtually Presents 4-Harpsichords

San Antonio, TX, August 09, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Self-taught composer Nathan Felix and the San Antonio Museum of Art will virtually present a unique and classical music performance on Friday, September 3 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. The performance will feature a newly composed orchestral suite written by Felix for four harpsichords, strings and choir.

Originally an "in-person" event, the concert September 3rd is now a virtual event to be broadcast on YouTube, Facebook and additional platforms. For links to the virtual stream register San Antonio Museums website to receive the streaming link options. The "in-person" concert has been postponed to November 12th.

Local harpsichord builder Gerald Self will introduce the performance with a brief discussion on the history of harpsichords and give insight into his building process. In early 2019, Felix and Self met and discussed a grandiose presentation utilizing Self’s harpsichords but those plans were stalled due to the pandemic. This summer, Felix reached out to Self and talks quickly escalated with an agreement to premiere the collaboration at The San Antonio Museum of Art. The music draws inspiration from SAMA’s current exhibition America’s Impressionism: Echoes of a Revolution.

Felix is known for his guerilla style approach in presenting classical music in unconventional spaces and 4-Harpsichords in Surround Sound is given no exception, with a performance utilizing space and acoustics.
