About Nicolas Altstaedt & Thomas Dunford presented by Musica Viva Australia | Sydney
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Nicolas Altstaedt and Thomas Dunford. Cello and lute. When these two international superstars team up for a night of musical mischief, anything could happen.
Nicolas Altstaedt brings his always exciting, always beautiful insights to music of the seventeenth century, with the help of lutenist Thomas Dunford, the charismatic ringleader of baroque superband Ensemble Jupiter. Together they explore evocative masterpieces from the court of Louis XIV, pitting Marin Marais and his rival, Antoine Forqueray, against each other in a baroque playoff. Then they uncover more recent treasures from Arvo Pärt and Henri DuParc, and explore the enduring beauty of Bach.

"Altstaedt has technique to burn, near perfect intonation, superb control of extreme registers and harmonics, and is physically at ease with his instrument ... one hung on every note as if they were the words of a master storyteller." — The Australian
