Aurore: Per Brahe's Lute Book

Aurore – Helsinki Renaissance Music Festival will be held in February st St. Paul's Church

The program presents Aurore's four enchanting concerts including full of colourful renaissance music!

Pietari Brahe (1602–1680) was a Swedish statesman and count, whose two terms as Governor General of Finland marked an exceptionally active period of development in our country: Sweden-Finland's third university Turku Academy, several schools and ten cities were founded during his reign. Brahe studied the lute in Germany. Music always played an important role in any events he organised, and he even had his own orchestra in his home castle in Sweden.

The concert programme, designed by lutenist Mikko Ikäheimo, consists of music from the collection of lute tablature written down by Brahe himself.
