Massimo Marchese, Elena Cicinskaite

We look forward to talks on the composer Fallamero and on the music of the Thibaut manuscript; and a main recital of lute and theory duets. Another Italian connection comes in the shape of the diarist Samuel Pepys's guitar teacher Morelli, who made many of the song arrangements found in his music manuscripts. Also, dancing to the baroque guitar and English guitar.
