"A Woman’s Instrument”: The Art of the Renaissance Lute Player

Lutenist Sara Salloum invites you to step back in time with her and experience

the captivating scenes of a young woman practicing and performing her lute in

early seventeenth-century England. With meticulously reconstructed period

instruments, and dressed in specialist tailor-made Renaissance period clothing,

Sara will perform music from the female-produced lute books which survive from

England’s golden age of lute music (c.1590-1630).
