Pianist
Although Emily Lapisardi's academic degrees are in vocal performance and sacred music/organ, she has played the piano since childhood and has extensive experience both as a performer and pedagogue.
Her first-person lecture recital as Clara Schumann includes works by that pioneering female composer and pianist, as well as pieces by Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms. Learn more here. As part of her research on the music of the Harmony Society, she has performed pianistic works from the archives of Old Economy Village at all three Harmonist historic sites.
