Daniel Swenberg

Daniel Swenberg plays a wide variety of lutes and guitars: baroque, renaissance, classical/romantic--small, medium, and large.  Chief among these is the theorbo-- the long lute that you are either wondering about or overhearing your neighbor discuss.  In the before-times,  Daniel schlepped instruments throughout North America and Europe to play with myriad ensembles.

These days, he attempts maintain a reserve of sanity with quarantine projects which delve into rarely performed repertoires such Les Accords Nouveaux and other commercially dubious areas.  

He is on faculty at Juilliard’s Historical Performance program.  Daniel received awards from the Belgian American Educational Foundation (2000) for a study of 18th century chamber music for the lute, and a Fulbright Scholarship (1997) to study in Bremen, Germany. His programing integrates and emphasizes music with the history, sciences, economics, politics, and broader culture of its time.
