We begin on Wednesday, January 24 at 5 PM in the wonderful acoustic and setting which the Adventist Chapel provides with superb lutenist and guitarist Michael Freimuth from Kiel in Northern Germany, who will join me for a musical tour of three centuries and five distinct instruments: renaissance guitar, which is considerably smaller and more mellow-toned than its modern descendant, theorbo (an extremely long-necked lute), the one-piece cylindrical renaissance flute along with the bass renaissance flute, and the one-keyed baroque flute.
We’re moving to 5 PM, conflicting less with dinner time and allowing one to return home earlier on these cold and dark winter nights!
