Grammy-nominated lutenist Ronn McFarlane strives to bring the lute -- the most popular instrument of the Renaissance -- into today’s musical mainstream and make it accessible to a wider audience. The superb acoustics of Stage 3 will enhance an unforgettable concert.

Since taking up the lute in 1978, Ronn has made his mark in music as the founder of Ayreheart, a founding member of the Baltimore Consort, touring 49 of the 50 United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Netherlands, Germany and Austria, and as a guest artist with Apollo’s Fire, The Bach Sinfonia, The Catacoustic Consort, The Folger Consort, Houston Grand Opera, The Oregon Symphony, The Portland Baroque Orchestra, and The Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra.
