Edin Karamazov is a rock star.
No, really, the classically trained Bosnian lutist has an album credit with Brit-rocker Sting. He also has a film credit that sprang out of that Sting album project.
But it’s his longtime collaboration with world-renowned German countertenor Andreas Scholl that’s bringing Karamazov to our corner of the universe.
He and Scholl, a multiple Grammy nominee, are performing a recital Sunday, March 10, with the Arizona Early Music Society.
The pair, who have worked regularly together since Karamazov appeared on Scholl’s 2001 album “Wayfaring Stranger,” are performing a program of lute works by composers including Dowland, Campion, Johnson, the music of Handel and a sampler of English folk songs. The concert, dubbed “Airs and Fancies,” begins at 3 p.m. at Grace St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 2331 E. Adams St. Admission is $25 at the door; $5 if you are 28 and younger.
