ReRenaissance – Forum for Early Music - Switzerland

ReRenaissance is Basel’s forum for early music, designing and premiering new concert programmes each month. A changing rotation of artistic directors create unique, newly-formed ensemble constellations built from a cast of musical stars from the Basel region. Since its founding in 2020, ReRenaissance has welcomed more than 100 musicians to its stage and created 50 concerts Each of these signature programmes illuminate a specific time, place and story. Together, they begin to build a picture of “music before 1600”.

The lute began its march across Europe as early as the 15th century, but it finally attained status as “queen of instruments” in the following century, inspiring renowned virtuosos in every European country of the time.

2025 marks the 525th anniversary of the birth of Luys de Milán, the Spanish master of the lute and vihuela; meanwhile, it’s also the 500th year of Vincenzo Galilei, lutenist and father of the even more famous Galileo Galilei.

It is reason enough for a second edition of our “lute parcours”, in which audience members journey through multiple mini-concerts, staged in the rooms of a historical Basel mansion.
