What a joy it was to attend Brad’s lecture last week, where we got to hear him perform and learn about the evolution of the lute, tablature, and its accompanying compositions; we also got some time up close with the lute ourselves! 🎶✨

Thank you to everyone who came out to experience this with us. We have two more outreach events coming up to close out this season, and we hope to see you all there as well😊

It was an absolute delight to watch bring J.S. Bach’s Toccatas and Concertos I and II to life. What a beautiful way to end the solo series, as well as the 2025-2026 concert season!

Thank you to , and to all of you for joining us for a truly wonderful year.

Bravi!
