Intimate Conversations with Thomas Dunford | EMV

Thomas Dunford first picked up the lute at age nine, and it was love at first pluck. He talks about his passion for the instrument in this Intimate Conversation with musicologist Sylvia L' Ecuyer. M. Dunford explains how the lute first developed from the Middle Eastern oud and how it has continued to evolve into the archlute he plays today. Other points of discussion include the challenges of adapting Bach's music for the lute, modern music being currently written for this ancient instrument, his group Jupiter and his packed concert/travel schedule. Listen in and then join EMV for what is sure to be an extraordinary live concert on November 25 https://www.earlymusic.bc.ca/events/t...
