Yuichi Sasaki and Flory Leloup: A Concert for Lute/Theorbo and Soprano
An Intimate Baroque Dialogue Woven by Voice, Lute, and Theorbo
2026/10/24(sa.) 14:00 Starting
Official https://yuichisasaki.com/
In 17th-century Europe, intimate music featuring vocals and plucked string instruments was highly cherished. In this performance, Belgian soprano Flory Leroux and Germany-based lute player Yuichi Sasaki will present a selection of masterpieces that enriched the musical culture of that era.
The lute and theorbo are historical plucked string instruments that are rarely performed today. Their delicate and rich tones blend beautifully with the human voice, vividly bringing to life the expressive world envisioned by 17th-century composers.
The program will feature works by Kapusperger, Landi, Lambert, Handel, and Weiss, among others. You will be able to enjoy the diverse charms of Baroque music, which flourished in Italy, France, and Germany.
The two performers, who have honed their skills in Germany, will introduce the audience in Niigata to the profound world of 17th-century music. This program is designed to be accessible even to those hearing early music for the first time. Please feel free to join us.
