Great American lutenist Paul O’Dette returns to the Bay Area for a rare recital of Renaissance masterpieces at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church presented by San Francisco Performances.
Few instrumentalists establish themselves with such firm authority as Paul O’Dette has on the lute. In fact, one writer described him as “the clearest case of genius ever to touch his instrument.” In fact, O’Dette helped define the technical and stylistic standards to which twenty-first century performers of early music aspire. In doing so, he helped infuse the performance practice movement with a perfect combination of historical awareness, idiomatic accuracy, and ambitious self-expression.
