Benjamin Narvey, Theorbe
Lutenist Benjamin Narvey is known for his engaging and versatile performances on 16th, 17th and 18th century historical plucked instruments, notably the renaissance lute, the baroque lute, the baroque guitar, as well as Italian, French, German and English theorboes.
Born in Montréal, Benjamin studied at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama (London) with David Miller, and has refined his understanding of period performance with Nigel North, Paul O'Dette and Hopkinson Smith.
He is attracted to many early repertories, particularly French and German solo music for the baroque lute, Vivaldi's lute concerti, early-Italian monody, English lute song, French Airs de cour, and of course, opera.
Benjamin can be heard frequently as a solo, chamber and principal orchestral lutenist in international concert venues.
As a soloist Benjamin regularly performs solo lute recitals and lute concerti with orchestra. He is also frequently in demand as a continuist, and has worked with the main leading ensembles.
Benjamin is also an experienced theatre and film musician, having performed many times with the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre (London).
He is also a scholar specialising in the French Baroque. His doctoral thesis, "The French Lute during the Reign of Louis le Grand" (University of Oxford, 2010) is the first cultural history of the French lute during the Grand Siècle. In 2008, he won the Goldberg Musical Essay Competition.
He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (Sorbonne) in 2009, and a fellow at the Institute of Musical Research (University of London) in 2010-11.
The large range of instruments on which he performs includes careful historical reproductions of period lutes found in major European collection. He is a proponent of natural stringing in gut.
