Stephen Stubbs, lute

A recently returned Seattle native, lute and baroque guitar virtuoso Stephen Stubbs made his professional debut as a lutenist at the Wigmore Hall, London in 1976. His solo lute recordings include the music of J.S. Bach, S.L. Weiss, David Kellner, Jaques St. Luc, Gaultier, Gallot and Logi. A recording of Bach's Luteworks was released in 2003 on the ATMA label. He has also recorded Sonate al Pizzico with baroque harpist Maxine Eilander. With his direction of Stefano Landi's La Morte d'Orfeo at the 1987 Bruges festival, Stubbs began his career as opera director and simultaneously founded the ensemble Tragicomedia which has since recorded over 20 CDs and completed tours of Europe, North America and Japan. In 1996 he created the ensemble Teatro Lirico with the release of their first CD, Love and Death in Venice. Stubbs is also permanent artistic co-director of the Boston Music Festival.
