Rocky Mjos studied classical guitar with Dan
Estrem and Paul Berget (who sent him home one day with a lute
and a stack of tablature books). He performed with Concentus
Musicus, Ex Machina, Lyra Baroque Orchestra, and in duet pro-
grams with Edward Martin. He then moved to the Netherlands
and studied at the Royal
Conservatory. His group, The Beggar's Banquet, was invited to perform at the Dutch
Embassy in London. Rocky has performed at early music festivals
in San Antonio, Utrecht, and Wroclaw, Poland. In 2000 he moved
back to the Twin Cities, and has since played with Glorious
Revolution Baroque, Terzetti, and The Rose Ensemble.

It's a group of lutenists meeting together to discuss -- well actually play --very important things. It's the 'Lute Summit' this Saturday at Hamline University. Hear several pieces and an interview with Alison Young.
