Thomas Dunford und Lea Desandre

Jupiter Ensemble is a vibrant early music ensemble adored by audiences, led by the “Eric Clapton of the lute” (BBC Magazine), Thomas Dunford, and featuring “one of today’s most exciting voices in early-music performance” (The New York Times), Lea Desandre. Tonight’s performance draws largely from Jupiter’s acclaimed Amazone program of French, Italian, and German Baroque arias. Featuring “flabbergastingly good” string playing, “charm [that] masks genius,” and “curation at its finest," it is “a feast of Baroque music [by] enviously intelligent, inventive and generous musicians” (Gramophone).
