Experience Zachary Wilder live on August 14th

Zachary Wilder is a contemporary American composer and harpsichordist known for his minimalist and spectral compositions, often exploring microtonal tunings and extended techniques on historical keyboard instruments. His work frequently draws connections between early music practices and modern sonic aesthetics, creating pieces that are both historically informed and strikingly contemporary. He often performs solo or with ensembles specializing in early and new music.

The performance on August 14, 2026, will take place at Drottningholm Slottsteater, a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the island of Lovön in Stockholm, Sweden. Originally constructed in 1766 as a private theatre for Queen Lovisa Ulrika, the theatre is remarkably well-preserved and remains one of the oldest working theatres in the world.

Its unique design incorporates a system of ingenious stage machinery originally powered by water, allowing for complex scene changes and special effects – innovations for its time. The theatre’s acoustics are particularly renowned for their intimacy and clarity, making it a favored venue for Baroque opera and chamber music performances.
