Jupiter Ensemble | Thomas Dunford

2026 marks the 400th anniversary of the death of John Dowland, the great British bard of the Elizabethan era. His wonderful songs, with their sweet melancholy, inspire outstanding young singers and instrumentalists to perform a Dowland song recital of the highest calibre.

Thomas Dunford has been called ‘the Eric Clapton of the lute’ by BBC Magazine. He leads the Jupiter ensemble: brilliant, energetic young musicians who accompany with sensitivity and historically informed expertise. The singers are all award-winning exceptional talents who captivate listeners with their distinctive voices. John Dowland's timeless lute songs sound as if they are being sung for the first time.
