Sigal Music Museum proudly presents Sigal Living Presence, exhibiting the highlights of the Museum’s working collection.

All keyboards on display are in working condition, meaning they have stood the test of time and live to play again. In the hands of a sensitive player, these instruments enact a musical seance that gives voice to ghosts of the past.

Sigal Living Presence offers a dynamic soundscape that brings to life the works of prominent composers on the types of keyboards for which their pieces were composed. These extraordinary instruments narrate important legacies of music history, invention, performance, and craftsmanship. As you explore this exhibit, note how these instruments provide the tools to resurrect the past, becoming the catalysts that grant history a living presence.
