Thomas Dunford will perform at Wigmore Hall, London on July 27, 2026. Dunford is a highly regarded English lute player and composer, known for his interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque repertoire, alongside his own compositions which often blend historical performance practice with contemporary sensibilities. His style is characterized by a delicate touch, rhythmic vitality, and a deep understanding of the nuances of early music. He frequently performs solo lute works as well as collaborating with vocalists and instrumental ensembles.

Wigmore Hall holds a significant place in London’s cultural landscape. Opened in 1901, it was built as a private concert hall for the Bechstein piano company, intended to showcase their instruments. Unlike many larger venues, Wigmore Hall was specifically designed for chamber music and song recitals, resulting in exceptional acoustics praised by musicians and audiences alike. It has hosted performances by virtually every major classical musician since its inception and is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and dedication to artistic excellence. The hall remains independent and relies on charitable support; it does not receive public funding. It is considered one of the world's leading centres for recital music.
