Every year at the end of August the renowned Early Music Festival takes place in the Dutch city of Utrecht. It is the largest festival focused on early music in the world, attracting an audience of more than 70,000 visitors. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition of the festival offered an alternative program that included both live concerts on location and daily livestreams of concerts and archival recordings. As part of this festival, violinist Lidewij van der Voort and lutenist Fred Jacobs present a program of Baroque music, including works of John Jenkins, Tarquinio Merula, Matthew Locke, Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger, Biagio Marini, Nicola Matteis, and Thomas Baltzar. This performance was recorded at the Gertrudiskapel in Utrecht, August 24, 2020.
