Virtuoso harpsichordist and founder of Capriccio Stravagante, Skip Sempé has been at the cutting edge of personalities who dedicated themselves to baroque music (1500-1750). He grew up in New Orleans, studied in the USA and in Europe with Gustav Leonhardt in Amsterdam. His harpsichord talent was very quickly noticed by Reinhard Goebel and William Christie. He regularly collaborates with the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles, making his contribution to the exemplary work of rediscovering and promoting the French harpsichord repertoire and chamber music, which begun with the creation of the Centre de Musique Baroque itself.
