Bedlam is Kayleen Sánchez, soprano, and Laudon Schuett, lute. Bedlam is a
15th and 16th century colloquial term for the Bethlem Royal Hospital in London,
England. At the time it was an infamous psychiatric facility and an inspiration
for artists and writers living around it. The term Bedlam eventually entered
“everyday speech to signify a state of madness, chaos, and the irrational
nature of the world.” Perhaps the most famous musical reference to Bedlam is
Henry Purcell’s From Silent Shades and the Elysian Groves, also known as Mad
Bess of Bedlam and is an early example of the “mad song” genre. Bedlam is
dedicated to exploring the rich repertoires of music for voice and lute in the
16th and 17th centuries. Their goal is not to simply recreate performance
practices of early music for educational purposes, but to use the knowledge of
such practices to produce vivid, visceral, and above-all, entertaining music.
"Schuett's rhythmic sense was unparalleled..... a masterful
performer..... with impeccable style and accuracy." - Classical Voice of North Carolina
