Harpsichordist Gośka Isphording is one of the most exciting performers in her field.
						Specializing in contemporary music on historical instruments, she is not only active as a
						soloist and chamber musician, but also presents the contemporary harpsichord to audiences and
						composers around the world through close collaborations, lectures and masterclasses.
						Gośka has performed at most prestigious festivals and concert halls. Her solo appearances
						include Gaudeamus Music Week or November Music, and more recently Warsaw Autumn Festival, Gaida
						Festival, ISCM World Music Days and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.
					
Pan-European appearances have brought Gośka to the attention of a variety of
						composers, and her inimitable approach to the harpsichord has earned numerous dedications and
						commissions. Gośka has premiered over a hundred solo and chamber music compositions and is an
						addressee of harpsichord concerti by Hanna Kulenty, Roderik de Man or Andrzej Kwiecinski. A
						passion for the careful interplay of apparently disparate forms has led Gośka to co-found The
						Roentgen Connection. She is also a member of The Riot Ensemble in London and has collaborated
						with ensembles like Asko|Schönberg, Insomnio Ensemble, Musikfabrik or Sinfonia Varsovia.
						She currently teaches contemporary harpsichord techniques at the Conservatorium van
						Amsterdam.
