Dear lute friends, For those who would be in the neighbourhood of Belgium on August 20th: Paul O'Dette will play a late evening concert in Antwerp. https://www.amuz.be/en/concert/paul-odette-2/ Paul OâDette The Secrets of the Muses When Paul OâDette plays the sparkling repertoire of 16th and 17th century lute virtuosos Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger, Nicolas Vallet, Jacques Gaultier and Alessandro Piccinini, the music genuinely speaks to us and seduces us. Only one book of lute music by the German-Italian Kapsberger has stood the test of time, but what a book it is. The most passionate and expressive music from the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque made Kapsberger one of the most successful composers of his time. Rightfully rediscovered, Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger also symbolises the revolution in the arts and sciences during the Roman Baroque, along with Caravaggio and Galileo. Performers Paul ODette, ten courses Renaissance lute Besides this recital the Laus Polyphoniae Festival also announces a concert by Marc Lewon & Paul Kiefer the same day at 1 PM, https://www.amuz.be/en/concert/marc-lewon-paul-kieffer-2/ and August 16 you can hear Scherzi Musicali perform La Pellegrina https://www.amuz.be/en/concert/scherzi-musicali-2/ Best wishes, Greet Schamp Belgian Lute Academy www.lute-academy.be -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
