Saturday 6 March marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Thurston Dart and 3 September will be the centenary of his birth.
A distinguished musicologist and performer, Thurston Dart did much to revive interest in early English keyboard music in the 1950s and ’60s by preparing editions and making recordings.
