Shows

Jordi Savall mit Viola da Gamba Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI Hespèrion XXI will devote themselves to the Elizabethan consort songs of William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons and others, with six gambas and two voices.

Content

When queens die:

When Queen Elizabeth I went to meet her maker in 1603, the art of the consort song died with her. To fan the flame of the Muses, the Tudors needed only five violas da gamba and one voice. The way sparks fly when Jordi Savall and his viola da gamba consort play this music is something that can only be experienced here. Helmut List Halle is transformed into a Tudor country house, where melancholy and joy, songs of anguish and lively dances follow one form the other.

Viola da Gamba & Conductor

There is no early music fan who does not know the name Jordi Savall. There is no award that the "Ambassador of the European Union for Cultural Dialogue" has not won in the course of his world career. So it is all the more enjoyable that the Catalan, born in 1941, has been one of the Styriarte's closest and most loyal friends for decades.
