 lemuseum.org/calendar-events\nDuring the 16th and 17th centuries\, the lut
 e was a favorite solo instrument throughout Europe\, but by the 1720’s\,
  it had lost favor in France\, England and Italy\, while in Austria\, Pola
 nd and the German states it remained popular in aristocratic circles until
  Mozart’s time. Much of the best solo music\, as well as chamber music (
 including lute duos)\, was composed in this era.  Lute music moved away f
 rom the style brisé (broken style) that had been common in the 17th centu
 ry\, toward a lighter “galant” style. Come hear a very special program
  of beautiful and seldom-heard music\, including a duet by Falckenhagen\, 
 a suite by Baron\, a concerto by Gleim\, a pastoral symphony by Handel (yo
 u may recognize the tunes!)\, and a sonata by Lauffensteiner.\nTIMOTHY BUR
 RIS has performed throughout Europe and the US\, both as a soloist and an 
 accompanist. He has appeared in concert with such esteemed artists as the 
 mezzo Jennifer Lane and the keyboardist Robert Hill\, as well as under the
  baton of Peter Schreier and René Clemencic\, among others.  He teaches 
 at the Portland Conservatory of Music and Colby College\, and he was the f
 ounder and director of Portland\, Maine’s Early Music Festival.   OLAV
  CHRIS HENRIKSEN\, acclaimed throughout Europe and North America as a solo
 ist on lutes\, theorbo and early guitars\, has performed and recorded with
  the Boston Camerata\, Handel &amp\; Haydn Society\, Waverly Consort\,
  Boston Baroque\, Emmanuel Music\, Ensemble Chaconne\, and Musicians of
  the Old Post Road\, among others.  He has performed and lectured frequen
 tly at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, playing musical instruments from
