  About Us

“There’s nothing quite like the Boston Early Music Festival… mainstream repertoire tends to be cherry-picked by musicologists; brilliant music like this has to be rediscovered.”

DIVINAMENTE SUONAVA: THE DIVINE LUTE OF MARCO DALL’AQUILA
The expressive lyricism and emotions of the music of Marco dall’Aquila will transport you to early 16th-century Italy. Marco was a composer of remarkable individuality and creativity, as well as a pivotal figure in the lute’s transition from the late medieval styles to the mature Renaissance idiom. By popular demand, BEMF Artistic Co-Director and world-renowned lutenist Paul O’Dette recreates this moving program originally presented as a benefit concert in the composer’s earthquake-ravaged hometown of L’Aquila.
