Elizabethan Lute Duets


David Rogers and Hideki Yamaya, lutes

Lutenists David Rogers of Eugene and Hideki Yamaya of Portland will present a concert of lute duets and solos by members of the Queen’s Music, Elizabeth I’s chamber musicians. An impressively accomplished lutenist herself, Elizabeth gathered the best lutenists in England to her court. The Elizabethan lute duet repertoire sets the stage, in a sense, for the development of American improvised music forms as blues, bluegrass and jazz.
