Concerts

For centuries, the lute was considered the “prince of instruments,” and lute players were celebrities in royal courts across Europe. Ayreheart, founded by GRAMMY nominated lutenist Ronn McFarlane, seeks to restore the lute to its former glory - writing new music steeped in ancient traditions as well as reviving sounds of the Renaissance. The four members of Ayreheart are Heather Aubrey Lloyd on vocals, guitar and percussion, McFarlane on lute, Will Morris on bass, violin and colascione (bass lute), and Mattias Rucht on percussion. From tender ballads to rollicking jigs, Ayreheart reinvigorates music that sings across the centuries to touch the hearts and move the feet of listeners today. At the intersection of classical music and the timeless folk music of the Renaissance, Ayreheart brings fresh energy and rhythmic drive to old traditions and original music.
