- **Event Name**: Jozef van Wissem · Trafo · Jena
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: According to The New York Times “Van Wissem is both an avant-garde composer and a baroque lutenist, and thus no stranger to dichotomy”. He has gained recognition for his innovative approach, the “liberation of the lute”, as he describes it. Jozef Van Wissem is an avant-garde composer and lutenist who plays his unique all-black baroque lute all over the world. His timeless music is often described as hypnotic, minimal, and hauntingly atmospheric, merging beauty with a dark, meditative edge. His lyrics have a mythical Christian appeal, incorporating themes of love, faith, and the afterlife, often with a repetitive, mantra-like quality. He studied lute in New York with Patrick O’Brien in the 1990s and has since built a career that bridges classical traditions with modern sounds like drones, electronics, field recordings and voice.

According to Richard Foster in The Quietus, “Van Wissem is possibly the best known lute player in the Western world. Early in his career he scored the Sims Medieval Video Game.

He collaborates with filmmaker and musician Jim Jarmusch, including the award-winning soundtrack for Only Lovers Left Alive, for which Van Wissem won the Cannes Soundtrack Award in 2013.
