Tom Beghin, a leading fortepianist and artistic researcher, has been praised for his eloquence and originality.聽 With classicist Sander Goldberg he coedited , winner of the 2009 American Musicological Society Ruth A. Solie Award.聽 His monograph (University of Chicago Press, 2015) followed his of the complete solo Haydn (Naxos 2009/2011).聽 An alumnus of the historically informed performance doctoral program at Cornell University, Prof. Beghin first taught at UCLA and since 2003 has been associate professor at McGill University. He also is the principal investigator of a research cluster at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent, Belgium, titled , which focuses on the intersections of historical technologies and performance.聽 is one of the cluster's current projects, of which is the first major published result: a multi-disciplinary and multi-sensory exploration of a composer's deafly composing his three last Piano Sonatas, Opus 109, 110, and 111.

Tom Beghin performed in Early Music Festivals at Bruges, Utrecht, Paris, Berkeley, Palermo, Florence, and Montreal; participated in an epoch-making eight-concert series featuring all Beethoven sonatas on historical pianos in Merkin Hall, New York; concertized with acclaimed orchestras or ensembles such as the Akademie f眉r alte Musik Berlin, Apollo-Ensemble, Arion, the Beethoven Academie, Caprice, and L鈥檃rpa festante (M眉nchener Barockorchester); teamed up with chamber music partners such as Les vents classiques du Qu茅bec, violinist Jaap Schr枚der, the Kuijken and Festetics String Quartets, violinist Anton Steck and cellist Markus M枚llenbeck; is a member of Trio Galatea, with violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock and cellist Elisabeth Le Guin.聽 In the summer of 2006 he was the Festival Star at the Bruges Early Music Festival, performing. among others, Schubert鈥檚 Winterreise with tenor Jan van Elsacker, Haydn cantatas with soprano Olga Pasychnyk, and representing Mozart in a theatrical reconstruction of his 1781-competition against Clementi (with Erin Helyard, written by Robert J.
