About Jonathan Oddie, harpsichord

Jonathan Oddie is a rare synergy of musician and scholar. In demand across the United States as a versatile performer on harpsichord, fortepiano, and continuo organ, he works with such leading musicians as violinist Dmitry Sinkovsky and flutist Janet See, and orchestras including Portland Baroque Orchestra and the Seattle Symphony. Mr. Oddie, currently visiting assistant professor of music in historical performance: historical keyboards at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, holds a doctorate in musicology from the University of Oxford, where he researched the instrumental music of English composer Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625), and has published articles in the scholastic journals Early Music and Historical Performance.
