DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nPaul O'Dette\, lute\n\n\nSATURDAY\, JANUARY 31\, 202
 6\n8pm | First Church in Cambridge\, Congregational\nVIRTUAL PREMIERE: Fr
 iday\, February 13\, 2026 at 8pm (ET)\nAvailable to watch until February 2
 7\, 2026 at 11:59pm (ET)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Discoveries: The extra
 ordinary manuscripts of Orazio Albani da Urbino\nHailed as the “greatest
  living lutenist” (Stereophile)\, Paul O’Dette has amassed innumerab
 le accolades and honors and a reputation as a virtuoso with singular techn
 ical skill matched by his ebullient charisma. While a regular presence on 
 the BEMF Concert and Opera stages as our Artistic Co-Director\, he makes h
 is first solo appearance on BEMF’s annual concert series in over 26 year
 s. Join him for a journey through a collection of recently discovered manu
 scripts copied out in the 1590s by Orazio Albani da Urbino (1576–1653)\,
  a nobleman who studied the lute in Rome as a child prodigy. The composers
  represented are among the most acclaimed lutenists of the time\, whose gr
 oundbreaking music was studied and performed throughout Europe. The Albani
  manuscripts include a large number of previously unknown pieces by Lorenz
 ino Tracetti and the “Knight of the Lute”\, Vincenzo Pinti: outstandin
 g works which run the gamut from soulful fantasias to flamboyant toccatas 
 to kaleidoscopic variations on the Folia and Romanesca\, containing pas
 sages that may have inspired Monteverdi. This collection represents one of
  the most important musical discoveries of the past thirty years.\n\n\n\n\
 n\n“The clearest case of genius ever to touch his instrument.”\n\n—
 BBC Music Magazine\n\n\n\n
