Early Music America announces its 2023 Joan Benson Clavichord Award recipient, Alissa Duryee.
Duryee is a Franco-American keyboardist whose work as a clavichord performer, researcher, educator, and instrument builder is internationally recognized. The judges came to a unanimous decision, noting that Duryee embodies the spirit of Joan Benson (1925–2020), for whom the award is named.
The Benson Clavichord Award is an annual award for a current outstanding American clavichord artist, teacher, researcher, composer, clavichord maker, or organizer of clavichord symposiums, masterclasses, or sessions for children.
