Seattle Escorts: ‘Louis XIV’s Bassoon’
Lutenist Lenti has performed repertoire stretching from the 12th to the 18th centuries on lute and theorbo throughout the United States, at the Bloomington and Boston Early Music Festivals, the Festival Guldener-Herbst in Sondershausen, Germany and at the Magnolia Baroque Festival in North Carolina. Lenti is associate director and regularly plays continuo for the Seattle Baroque Orchestra and has performed with the Seattle Opera and the Pittsburgh Opera, besides playing chamber music with groups like Ensemble Amarelli, Stolen Bread, Harmonious Blacksmith and La Monica.
His recording credits include “The Courtesan’s Arts,” with Ellen Hargis, on Oxford University Press and “On the Amorous Lyre” with La Monica. He is also co-founder with soprano Linda Tsatsanis of the ensemble Dulces Exuviae, described by the Seattle Times as the “best new concert series of 2007,” with Lenti’s playing singled out as “a joy to behold.”
