About
Thomas Dunford appears to be equally relaxed in any number of formations – with the most historically informed conductors of our time (William Christie, John Eliot Gardiner, Philippe Herreweghe, etc.), at the helm of the Jupiter Ensemble founded seven years ago as a duo with Lea Desandre, or flying solo and taking on Bach. This talented string player has been dubbed the “Eric Clapton of the lute” (BBC Music Magazine). As a writer-composer-performer, he has devised a programme blending Purcell, The Beatles and Dowland. This journey through eras and styles will conclude with his own songs influenced by jazz, baroque, and pop. And, who knows, perhaps a jam session as an encore? Nothing would surprise us!
