At our early autumn meeting we give a long-overdue welcome to one of today’s leading players, Eduardo Eguez, who besides performing the final recital, will give guidance on the vital question of making our phrasing more convincing. Most of the rest of the day will be a music feast, pure simple, with an emphasis on youth, with mini-recitals from Mateo Benjamin Jumbo Porras, Christine Gebs (who will also share some of the insights of her researches into musical current and influences) and a young mystery guest artist, to play music from the Dlugoraj lute book. Bill Carter will play German baroque music on a Michael Lowe lute.
