About us
Who we are
The Lute Society was founded by a small group of early music enthusiasts in 1956 to promote the lute and its music. It has grown into a vibrant, learned, international charity with over a thousand members passionate about playing and making lutes and other early related instruments, publishing editions of lute music, supporting lutenists, and understanding the history of the lute.
The Society holds regular meetings, playing days, and residential weekends. https://www.lutesociety.org/pages/about-the-society
