The Renaissance lute in Switzerland.

Concerts from Basel: Continuing our examination of the Swiss early music scene, we turn to music from Basel, the home of the first school exclusively dedicated to the study of early music (and hear concerts dedicated to the first music publisher!).

Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant in honor of John and Kathleen Cassidy.

NOTE: These programs are made possible in part by PRS--Presence Switzerland, Swiss Radio International, Switzerland Tourism, and the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C.
