In the continuing series of gilded concerts, Baroque harpsichordist Jacob Stott will be featured in an informal afternoon of complimentary tea, coffee, cider, finger sandwiches and sweets this Sunday from 3-5 p.m. at the Aldrich Mansion on Warwick Neck. Tickets are $25.

In 2003 he commissioned and was soloist in the world premiere of Concerto for Harpsichord and Chambre Orchestra, by Canadian composer Anthony Cushing. In 2004 Stott co-founded the new concert series Basically Baroque, which is dedicated to the performance of music from around 1590-1790. He is also on faculty at the Community College of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College, where he teaches music history, theory and Piano I.
