We would like to remind everyone that we have local event meetups (chapters) happening across different states! If you are a new lute player or even play a different instrument and are interested in joining we hope this post inspires you to either join a chapter or create your own.

Figured Bass Workshop for Players of Modern Instruments (hosted in March 2026.)

In honor of Early Music Month 2026, the New York Chapter of the Lute Society of America hosted a one day workshop teaching Figured Bass for Modern Instrumentalists. This collaborative effort with Baroque Opera Workshop at Queens College allowed guitars, ukuleles, and cellos to play alongside period instruments from the same notation.

Most of the participants were already familiar with modern musical shorthands, such as lead sheets and chord charts, but were surprisingly curious about the history of how those shorthands came to be.

To join a local chapter, follow the link below to our website to get in touch with the chapter leader. If you are on Instagram, you can find the link in our bio.
