A native of Russia, historical keyboardist Henry Lebedinsky is an active performer on harpsichord, clavichord, and organ, both as a soloist and with The Firebird Chamber Orchestra, Seraphic Fire, The Wild Rose Ensemble, Ensemble Vermillian, and The Charlotte Symphony. With Grammy® award-winning countertenor Ian Howell, he founded the innovative early music ensemble Tableau, and has also performed with Saltarello, Revels, the Portland Early Music Consort, the Harvard Baroque Orchestra, The South Coast Chamber Music Society, Concertino Ensemble of Rostock, Germany, and Holland's Ensemble New Amsterdam among others. In addition to performing, Mr. Lebedinsky has led workshops on historical keyboards and performance practice at Davidson College, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and Appalachian State University. His editions of works by Isabella Leonarda, Barbara Strozzi, and Maria Xaviera Peruchona for Saltarello Editions have been performed across the country and recently in Italy, France, South Korea, and Lebanon. In his spare time, he plays bouzouki and guitar with several Celtic bands including The Beggar Boys, whose second CD, Salem's Musick: Songs and Dances of the Puritans, was recently praised as 'lush and revealing' by the Boston Globe. Lebedinsky holds degrees from Bowdoin College and the Longy School of Music, where he earned a Master of Music in historical organ performance as a student of Peter Sykes. A church musician since the age of 17, he currently serves as organist and director of music at St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Davidson, North Carolina, where he also directs the successful Music at St. Alban's concert series.
