Dear members of the list, I have been at pains trying to raise interest in our beloved instrument down here in Brazil. I've given speeches, played solo and chamber concerts... but despite all efforts the general public and also the musicians (professionals or amateurs) simply don't get turned on. It is a sad fact that the lute and the early music performance practice did not reach the University here. So we don't exist academically speaking.
Would anybody be willing to list some strategies that could be used to help disseminate the lute and its repertoire? -- Bruno Correia Pesquisador autonomo da pratica e interpretac,ao historicamente informada no alaude e teorba.
