March 30th, 2024Lute performance to bring ‘profound musicality and virtuosity’

Jakob Lindberg will perform at Stanbridge Hall at Christ Church, Daylesford on Saturday, April 13 at 2.30pm.

Celebrated for his profound musicality and virtuosity, Swedish lute master JakobLindberg will present an intimate performance on the noble lute and stunning theorbo.

Accompanying slumbers and rousing celebrations of the kings and queens of Europe venture through the royal courts of the 17th-century in this unmissable program.

This rare event explores the great works of the English, French and Italian baroque with music by John Dowland, Robert Johnson, Alessandro Piccinini, Giovanni Kapsperger, Robert Ballard and Robert de Visee.

Combined with the haunting folk melodies of Scotland, in the abundant acoustic of Stanbridge Hall, explore a fascinating time in European history in the hands of the world’s greatest lutenist.

Jakob Lindberg read music at Stockholm University and studied lute and guitar at the Royal College of Music, London. Towards the end of his studies he decided to focus on renaissance and baroque music and is now one of the most prolific performers in this field.

Jakob has made numerous recordings for BIS Records, many of which are pioneering in that they present a wide range of music on CD for the first time, he has also brought Scottish lute music to public attention, demonstrated the beauty of the Italian repertoire for chitarrone and recorded chamber music by Vivaldi, Haydn, Boccherini and more, on period instruments.

An active continuo player on the theorbo and arch lute, Jakob has worked with many well-known English ensembles, it is however, particularly through his live solo performances, that he has become known as one of the finest lutenists in the world today.
