Thomas Dunford live in Eltville am Rhein

Experience Thomas Dunford live on June 28th

Thomas Dunford, a highly regarded British lutenist and composer, will perform at Kloster Eberbach in Eltville am Rhein, Germany on June 28, 2026. Dunford’s musical style centers around the revival and reinterpretation of Baroque and Renaissance lute music, often incorporating improvisation and contemporary influences. He is known for his virtuosic technique and scholarly approach to historical performance practice, extending beyond strictly traditional repertoire to include arrangements of works by artists like Nick Drake and Radiohead for the lute.

Kloster Eberbach is a former Cistercian monastery founded in 1135. Situated in the Rheingau wine region, it played a significant role in viticulture from the Middle Ages onwards, with its monks cultivating vineyards and establishing winemaking traditions that continue today. The monastery complex showcases Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Following secularization in 1803, Kloster Eberbach transitioned into state ownership and has since been utilized for various purposes, including as a location for film shoots – notably appearing in “The Name of the Rose” – and as a venue for cultural events like concerts.
