Paul Berget: Renaissance lute, modernized..

Paul Berget received his B.F.A. degree from the University of Minnesota in 1972. After graduation, he continued his studies with the legendary Diana Poulton at the Royal College of Music in London, where he also studied with acclaimed lutenist Nigel North.

In 1973, he appeared on Broadway in a musical production of Cyrano starring Christopher Plummer.

In addition to playing early music, he has also performed in a variety of other musical styles: modern classical and steel string guitar, and world music.

Recently he has been performing as the lutenist in the internationally acclaimed ensemble Minstrelsy!, a group that records on the Lyra Chord label.

Other early music collaborations include the Rose Ensemble, Ensemble Polaris, the Minnesota Lute Quartet (MiLQ), and performances with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.
