Charles Iner is a Boston-based lutenist, guitarist, educator, and basso continuo performer. He received an MM in Historical Performance at Boston University, where he was awarded a departmental award for outstanding excellence in 2020, and a BA in Music Performance from Benedictine College.
Charles says:
The title of this program, “Mandò in luce sotto l’ombra”, comes from Galilei’s introduction to his music book, where he explains to the future players of his music that there are no mistakes made in the printing, some of the harmonies really are that dissonant. I think it also sums up for me my attraction to the music; it was a light to me in a dark and difficult time of the pandemic, and Galilei’s music has continued to reveal itself to me after several years of digging into it. As an Italian performer, living in Munich, and often writing in French dance idioms, Galilei’s music represents a cosmopolitan style that is harmonically adventurous, varied in affect, and ultimately very accessible.
