Baroque & Renaissance Music on Siccas Luthiers Guitars

Brandon Acker brings the world of early plucked instruments to Siccas Luthiers guitars in this unique concert. Specialist in Renaissance and Baroque repertoire — playing lute, theorbo, Baroque guitar, archlute and classical guitar — Acker performs works by John Dowland, Giovanni Zamboni, Robert de Visée, and Francesco da Milano: the great masters of Renaissance and early Baroque plucked-string music, here given new life on instruments from Siccas's own workshop.

With 695,000 YouTube subscribers and over 83 million views, Acker has introduced Renaissance and Baroque music to a new global audience. He has performed with the Leipzig Baroque Orchestra, Piffaro, and Music of the Baroque, and plays without nails on gut strings — a historically informed approach that brings a distinctive warmth to his sound.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
