The California State University, Fresno Department of Music presents harpsichordist Kathleen McIntosh in concert on Saturday, Jan. 24, at 3 p.m. in the Wahlberg Recital Hall on campus.

McIntosh will perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Art of the Fugue (Die Kunst der Fuge, BWV 1080).

A regular member of Santa Fe Pro Musica, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Chamber Players, she has appeared as soloist with the Kremlin Chamber Orchestra in Moscow, in the Deya International Festival in Spain, and in the Tsuyama Festival in Japan, and with chamber orchestras in Mexico and the American west and southwest.

In April of 2003 she performed in New York with violist Marlow Fisher in a concert of contemporary music for harpsichord and viola that left Strad magazine critic Ken Smith “keen to hear more.” The duo repeated the concert in May 2003 in Havana, Cuba, under the auspices of the Copland/Gershwin New Music Group.

She has just returned from Vietnam, where she performed as soloist with the Vietnam

National Symphony Orchestra in Hanoi. McIntosh has been a recitalist for the San Francisco Early Music Society and other early music series throughout the western United States, and is a frequent collaborator with noted early music performers from all over the world.

She played in Canada and Berlin with the San Francisco Consortium Antiquum, and she was the artist-in-residence at Claremont Graduate School, part of the

consortium of colleges in Claremont, CA.

Since 1996 she has performed regularly with the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. She has also been featured in the Bravo Festival in Vail, Colorado; the La Jolla Summerfest; Music from Angel Fire, the New Texas Festival, the San Anselmo Organ Festival, and on the Santa Fe series 20th Century Unlimited and New Music New Mexico. Heard frequently on National Public Radio’s “Performance Today”, she records for Gasparo.
