Performance talk by lutenist Kenneth Bé
Bé will perform and discuss 16th century compositions for lute.
Kenneth Bé, performing lute music since 1974, has taken lute lessons from notable lute players including Paul O’Dette, Nigel North, Sylvain Bergeron and Ronn McFarlane. He has participated in the Boston Early Music Festival and has played duet recitals with McFarlane. His interest and repertoire for early plucked musical instruments spans from the earliest known lute tablatures of the late 15thcentury through the twilight of the lute in the late 18th century.
