Concertzender at the International Lute days

Not only were we present at the Early Music Festival 2018, during the last weekend (from 31st August to 2nd September) we recorded eight concerts during the International Lute days.

One of the most remarkable concerts was by the European Lute Orchestra led by Gian Luca Lastraioli. This lute orchestra comprised players from all over Europe, who played every possible variety of lutes and fellow instruments. 500 to 600 strings were played.

The sound of tens of theorbas, alongside the necessary lutes and fellow instruments such as the colascione and baroque guitar, has not been heard on this scale since the 17th century.

We recorded the following concerts during the Lute days:

31st August:

• 12:00, Singelkerk – Pacoloni ensemble
• 16:30, Lutherse Kerk – Eveline Juten (vocals, zither, lute) and Arwen Bouw (baroque violin)
• 20:15, Geertekerk – The European Lute Orchestra

1st September:

• 16:15, Lutherse Kerk – Peter Croton (lute) and Nehad El-Sayed (ud)
• 20:15, Gertrudiskapel – Modena Consort
• 21:15, Gertrudiskapel – Crawford Young (lute and cetra)

2nd September:

• 15:30, Lutherse Kerk – Pascale Boquet (lute) and Céline Ferru (guiterne)
• 16:30, Lutherse Kerk – Ensemble Sirinu

Just like the recordings of the Early Music Festival 2018 we're going to broadcast these in the autumn and winter in Concertzender Live Oud . Every 2nd and 4th Thursday evening of the month you can listen to Early Music between 20:00 and 22:00 in Concertzender Live.
