The Fretful Federation Mandolin Orchestra in concert with renowned guitarist and lutenist, Sam Brown.

“The Eric Clapton of the lute”, Sam Brown is counted amongst of the top cordophonists of his generation, known for his imaginative and sensitive style.
Sam first learned classical guitar with the inspirational Sasha Levtov. He discovered the lute at the Royal College of Music, where he trained with Jakob Lindberg. He later studied at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italia with Lorenzo Micheli.

For the last eight years Sam has performed internationally as a solo and ensemble player, including at Vienna’s Konzerthaus and Wigmore Hall.

Our concert last year was short listed for the audience prize so don't miss it in 2025.
