Lynda Sayce
Lynda Sayce is one of the UK's leading
lutenists, and is noted both as a performer and as a musical
scholar with a strong interest in history, literature and the
visual arts. She studied at St. Hugh's College, Oxford, where she
matriculated in History and graduated in Music. She then studied
lute with Jakob Lindberg at the Royal College of Music, and also
took continuo classes with Nigel North. She holds a PhD for her
research on the history of the theorbo, which is to be published
shortly.
Lynda has contributed articles to Early Music, the Revised New
Grove Dictionary of Music, and the art journal Apollo, and has
edited many music publications. She is principal lutenist with Ex
Cathedra, The King's Consort and the Musicians of the Globe, and
performs regularly with many other leading period instrument
ensembles. She also directs the lute ensemble Chordophony, whose
repertory is entirely derived from her research. Lynda appears on
more than 100 CD recordings, and has broadcast on radio and TV
stations worldwide.
