As snow falls over chilly Boston on this mid-April day, we turn to music to remind ourselves what spring is supposed to feel like…And so, in anticipation of the upcoming May 15-31 lute song recital by Anne Azéma and star lutenist Nigel North, here’s a lighthearted love song by Pierre Guédron, a superb melodist whom our Emeritus often refers to as the French Cole Porter of 1600.
Guédron, who deserves to be much better known, will be one of the featured authors during the Azéma-North online event, titled simply Songs to the Lute. If you haven’t already purchased your admission to this cornucopia of early French delights, we invite you to do so now!
The Fine Print (please read!) Songs to the Lute will be available for streaming at any time between May 15-31, 2021. There is no limit on the number of times you can watch the program during this time. You will receive an email on May 15 containing the link to the video when it is ready to view. If you purchase your ticket after May 15, you will receive the email directly after your purchase.
