Fortepianist Sylvia Berry
Sylvia Berry is one of North America's leading exponents of historical keyboard instruments. A Philadelphia native based in the Boston area, she’s played countless types of fortepianos, harpsichords, and organs, including many noteworthy antiques. Her Acis recording of Haydn's "London Sonatas" on an 1806 Broadwood & Son grand (restored by Dale Munschy) drew critical acclaim; a reviewer in Early Music America proclaimed her “a complete master of rhetoric, whether in driving passagework or in cantabile adagios,” while a review in Fanfare stated, “To say that Berry plays these works with vim, vigor, verve, and vitality, is actually a bit of an understatement." Despite getting a late start – she began piano lessons at age thirteen – she attended the New England Conservatory, Oberlin Conservatory, and the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, The Netherlands.
