Olav Chris Henriksen and Timothy Burris in Duets for Baroque Lutes
NOTE: This performance, originally scheduled for 3 December of 2024 was postponed due to illness. Expect information on a new date in 2025,
Duets for Renaissance lutes are not uncommon on programs of early music. Less often encountered are duets for baroque lutes–the lute in vogue from the mid-17th through the middle of the 18th century. Mr Henriksen and Mr Burris will play an assortment of duets from the period, some you may have heard but many will be new, even to seasoned early music aficionados. Lutes solos will round out the program.
