Works of Froberger, d’Angelbert, Buxtehude, and J. S. Bach promise the sonorous, dynamic, nuanced performances that critics have called “cantabile playing of the highest order” (Johan van Veen) and “sterling artistry in gorgeous performance” (Fanfare Magazine).
Vorobjova’s passionate interest in early music led her to study the harpsichord in Oslo and Cologne with Ketil Haugsand and at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels with Hermann Stinders, She lives and works as a freelance harpsichordist in Cologne (Germany), concertizing frequently in Germany and abroad on both harpsichord and clavichord. Her several recordings (the most recent titled Le Clavecin Poétique ) have generated great interest in her unique approach to early works.

Matched with Vorobjova’s playing, music lovers will experience an evening of exquisite “music that shines effortlessly with just as much fire as sensitivity.” (Concerto Magazine).
