Cellist, conductor and creative visionary Nicolas Altstaedt is the kind of artist who makes music you thought you knew, new. In 2026, he 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. When these two international superstars team up for a night of musical mischief, anything could happen.
"The chemistry between Nicolas Alstaedt and Thomas Dunford was evident on an empty stage."
"A concert that demands and rewards your complete attention."
"Altstaedt has technique to burn, near perfect intonation, superb control of extreme registers and harmonics... one hung on every note as if they were the words of a master storyteller."
