Maybe you can get them to play a nice lute quartet or whatever together? taco Dear Lute List, As most of you may already have knowledge of this subject, I am posting a reminder that the LSA Festival will be in Cleveland, and the dates of it are from Sunday, June 25th, through Friday, June 30, 2006 , on the campus of Case Western Reserve University. This will be the third time the seminar was held in that venue, and it promises to be a fantastic event, as there will be great learning opportunities for everyone, not to mention fabulous concerts. What is particularly exciting is the return of Toyohiko Satoh, who has not been at an LSA seminar for at least 10 years. He has a long, distinguished career, playing all of the lute related instruments, and specializing in the baroque lute. Toyohiko recorded the first recording of all baroque lute music on a baroque lute, and he continues to record. His style has changed, and now he will be teaching and performing 11 course music, and he will also demonstrate the results of his latest research on technical performance practices, playing an all gut strung baroque lute at low tension, with newly learned historic technique, playing by the bridge. Another feature is the return of Paul O'Dette, who has been absent from our seminar for years. As we know, Paul is one of the finest renaissance lutenists in our time, and this will be a gift to hear him perform (in 2 concerts - one with Ellen Hargis, one solo!), as well as teach. We are also featuring Crawford Young on medieval and early renaissance lutes, and his performance of this repertoire is legendary. In addition to these, we also have Ronn McFarlane, and Robet Barto, 2 of the most highly respected performers and teachers of the lute; their performances always promise to be incredible. Back by popular demand is Pat O'Brien, our ever so esteemed teacher. This is a great opportunity, and where else can you get the chance to hear all these people perform in 1 week, not to mention the opportunity to meet and maybe have a lesson with Toyohiko ... after over 30 years of teaching at the Royal Conservatory in den Haag, he is now semi-retired in Japan, and this could be the last time we get to have him here! We also are having concerts by Cathy Liddell, the Venere Quartet, Duo Marchand, Duo Chambure, and we will also present a concert by Earl Christy, and up-coming baroque lute professional. Can you imagine the excitement of having a lesson with Paul O'Dette, or Ronn McFarlane, or Bob Barto? 2 years ago, when the festival was in the same venue, we all had a fantastic time, and we had the highest turn out, ever. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. For those of you not yet committed to the event, please come, as I am sure it will be a grand time for all. Some of the classes are for rank beginners, some are for the advanced, and everything in between. It will be a fun time for all, so please come!

[LUTE] Re: LSA Lute Festival 2006 in Cleveland
Sounds like a good line-up to me: got the early and late covered, the long-time players, the johnny-come-latelys, serious big names, great teachers and some seriously above-average concerts from names you've always wondered about. Then there's the other folks who show up: folks who ask good questions in class, folks who've tried that string set-up you were going to, folks who scoot over and invite you over to their table, folks w/ a 'this' lute or a 'his' lute, folks w/ a cool duet, folks selling facsimiles, mod eds and cds, folks w/ edifying stories, awful jokes and dubious tuning tricks. Folks definitely getting the lute thing for a week.

[LUTE] Re: LSA Lute Festival 2006 in Cleveland
All, It sounds like a great experience but I have a few questions. Do most attendees stay in the dorm? I cannot imagine Cleveland in June without air-conditioning. That brings a dorm room to $600 for the 6 days, add 400 in tuition and it's a grand not counting lunch and beers. That's a pretty expensive week. That begs the question, in the mind of those who have attended previously, is it worth it? I've got chips flying trying to get a 13 course baroque instrument finished to take for the tasting. Will I be allowed to put it in? Is it mostly a renaissance festival? I see a couple of baroque players (Satoh, Barto) so it must have a fair and balanced baroque presence. Is that a good assessment? I've had a master class with Satoh before so I know it's most worthwhile. Will there be baroque folk for the private lessons?

[LUTE] Re: LSA Lute Festival 2006 in Cleveland
I've been to quite a few (although I won't be able to make this one:-(, and they normally have a pretty good mix of Baroque and Ren attendees and faculty (including some who do both). I'd guess the usual proportion is roughly 60/40 Ren/Baroque. There should be more than enough in the way of courses to keep you occupied unless your interests are extremely narrow. The usual problem is having too much to choose from and too little time.

And this time around there's that dark horse in the guise of medieval/early pluckery. Often we overlook that there were many lute players before Francesco Spinacino (and probably as talented as those after). I look forward to hearing what Crawford Young brings to the mix.
