My name is Mikael Christensen and I'm a 22 year old Danish lute player. I have finished a Bachelor with classical guitar at The Carl Nielsen Academy of Music in Odense, Denmark. Now I only play the lute. I'm here to extend my network with the early music and avant-garde music people. If everything goes well I'll soon be living in Basel, Switzerland, studying early music at the Scola cantorum Basiliensis. At the moment I live in Helsinki, Finland. My interests in periods at the moment are especially the early renaissance, mostly Francesco da Milano. He is definately a lute composer who needs more attention. Well, he doesn't need it, we do. Besides my solo projects I have played a lot of basso continuo in several productions like Monteverdi, Vespro della beata vergine, Bach st. Matthew Passion and Händel, Cantatas. I also accompany singers and recorders.You are very welcome to contact me at any time - it's always nice to talk to people around the world. I have msn messenger/Skype available if it's to tireing to write mails all the time. You can contact me in the following languages: Danish, English, German, Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian. Don't be shy.
