Justin Wallace leads a multifaceted career as a harpsichordist, organist and composer. His playing on the harpsichord has been described as having “an air of confidence he could rightfully claim.” He has performed with Chatham Baroque, Quantum Theatre and Pittsburgh Camerata, and his playing on historical keyboards has brought him to Charleston, SC; Birmingham, AL; Quito, Ecuador; and Leipzig, Germany. In 2018, he was selected to study at Royaumont Abbey with the acclaimed French harpsichordist Blandine Verlet. His interest in early keyboard instruments has led him to attend the Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute, the Early Keyboard Institute at the University of Michigan, and masterclasses at the Barn at Flintwoods, DE. Several encounters with master harpsichord builders have instilled a love of the maintenence and refurbishment of harpsichords. Justin’s compostions have been performed nationally and broadcast on American Public Media’s Pipedreams. Justin is currently Assistant Organist at Shadyside Presbyterian Church. He holds degrees from Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory and the Eastman School of Music. A native of Akron, Ohio, he has lived in Pittsburgh since 2010.
