The Tears and The Fire of the Muses
In Partnership with the Honorary Consulate of Spain
For more than 50 years, Jordi Savall, one of the most versatile musical personalities of his generation, has rescued musical gems from the obscurity of neglect and oblivion and given them back for all to enjoy. His activities as a concert performer, teacher, researcher and creator of new musical and cultural projects have made him a leading figure in the reappraisal of historical music. Together with Montserrat Figueras, he founded Hespèrion XXI (1974) with whom he explores and creates a world of emotion and beauty shared with millions of early music enthusiasts around the world. In “The Tears and The Fire of the Muses”, Jordi Savall & Hespèrion XXI are joined by soloists from La Capella Reial de Catalunya for a program exploring the music of Monteverdi and his contemporaries.
