April 1st, 2025High-falutin’ lute in the old Yandoit church
Rosemary Hodgson, one of Australia’s finest lute players, presents a magical afternoon of lute music in the excellent acoustics of Yandoit Cultural next month.
The lute, an instrument of quiet contemplation, explores both sound and silence in this charming program. The concert will feature works by Philip Rosseter, Robert Johnson and John Dowland.
Some of Rosemary’s music will be played on a 16th century lute.
An Australian lutenist, Hodgson maintains a vibrant career as soloist and chamber musician. She has established an international reputation for outstanding concert presentations and solo lute recordings of captivating subtlety.
A graduate of Melbourne University studying with John Griffiths, she completed her post graduate studies at the Royal College of Music London, with Jakob Lindberg.
With a strong passion for music education, in 2019, Rosemary curated the inaugural Four Winds Lute School in Bermagui NSW, and in 2024 launched the Melbourne international Lute Festival in her hometown.
She is a founding member of world-renowned period instrument ensemble La Compania and teaches lute at the University of Melbourne, Conservatorium of Music.
