LIFEM26: Nigel North
St Michaels & All Angels Church, SE3 9JL , [Venue Details]The Beginning of the World
Born in London, England, Nigel North has been playing the lute for over 50 years, since the age of 15.
This concert is included in the LIFEM Festival Pass and LIFEM Thursday Day Pass.
Teaching and playing have gone hand in hand and he was Professor of Lute at the Historical Performance Institute (formerly Early Music Institute), Indiana University, Bloomington (USA) from 1999-2024. In July 2024 he was thrilled to return to Europe, and now lives in Gent, Belgium. Previous positions include The Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London (1976-1995), Hochschule der Künste, Berlin (1993-1999) and the Royal Conservatory, Den Haag (2006-2009).
Initially inspired at the age of seven by the early 60’s instrumental pop group The Shadows, Nigel North studied classical music through the violin and guitar and eventually discovered his real path in life, the lute.
Nigel is basically self-taught on the lute and was inspired by Michael Schäffer, Gustav Leonhardt, and the Jazz duo Tuck and Patti. The music of Bach has always been his first love in music, especially after a dream at age 12 in which Bach handed him a lute.
In 2026, North releases two new publications, Playing with Patterns on the Lute: A Study and Method for Playing Sixteenth-Century Divisions (Oxford University Press) and a new edition of the complete lute works of John Dowland (Le Luth Doré).
