The Jupiter Ensemble was founded in 2018 by the lutenist Thomas Dunford, it was born from the meeting and friendship with musicians of his generation. They dedicated their first release to the works of Vivaldi; the CD won several awards. »Jupiter is a collection of brilliant people coming together and exchanging ideas. Everything is very colorful and unpredictable«, Dunford says, describing the collaboration. »We all look for certain colors as we work. But rather than stipulating that something has to be played this way, I try to find as many aspects as possible. And then the magic happens.« Magical concert moments are also promised by the Jupiter Ensemble as well as mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre and countertenor Iestyn Davies in their Konzerthaus debut: the focus is on arias from the English oratorios of George Frideric Handel - a musical »Eternal Heaven« awaits the audience.
