Hank Knox is a McGill University harpsichordist who has been hailed internationally for his “colorful, kinetic performances” which “abound in vitality”. He is a founding member of Montreal’s Arion Baroque Orchestra, with whom he has toured North and South America, Europe and Japan. Knox also regularly performs, records and tours with Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Les Violons du Roy, le Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, and l’Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal. 

As one of today’s busiest musicians in the field of Early Music, Knox’s musical collaborators have included violinists Elizabeth Wallfisch, Monica Huggett, and Stefano Montanari, lutenist Steven Stubbs, baritone Max van Egmond, and conductors Christopher Hogwood, Trevor Pinnock, Sir Roger Norrington, and Andrew Parrott.

Hank Knox has numerous recordings with Arion and Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestras , ATMA, Analekta, CBC, Titanic and Collegium recording labels. In addition to his performing and teaching duties, he continues to direct Baroque operas for Opera McGill, which have included important works by Purcell, Lully,  and Handel.

This concert is the first public performance of Lamp's new harpsichord, commissioned from Montreal builder Yves Beaupré. This exquisite instrument was made possible by a generous donation from the Zita and Mark Bernstein Family Foundation.
