Join us this Sunday at 3 PM in Ryan Concert Hall for the Patrick Gordon-Seifert Renaissance Lute Recital! Experience captivating music featuring composers such as John Dowland, Daniel Bachelor, Michelangelo Galilei, and more. Don’t miss it!
Patrick Gordon-Seifert, born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1992, grew up surrounded by a family of musicians and scholars. He began playing violin and viola at a young age, later transitioning to guitar in his teens. While studying guitar, he played a Dowland fantasy piece that sparked his interest in the lute. Soon after, his parents gifted him his first lute and he quickly fell in love with it.
Patrick’s passion for the instrument led him to earn a bachelor’s degree in lute performance from Indiana University, followed by a master’s degree from the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland. He has since performed internationally across Europe, Asia, and the United States, and is now based in New England, where he continues to perform and teach music in schools.
