Le Concert des Nations

This orchestra, founded in 1989 by Jordi Savall and his first wife, Montserrat Figueras, is a legendary ensemble. It is composed of leading specialists in early music—and continually renews its commitment to the ideal of a vibrant synthesis of historically informed performance practice and personal artistic expression, which is why its extensive discography has won numerous awards and its concerts are met with acclaim worldwide.

Jordi Savall

There isn’t a single fan of early music who doesn’t know the name Jordi Savall. There is no award that the “European Union Ambassador for Cultural Dialogue” has not won in the course of his international career, most recently the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize, also known as the “Nobel Prize of Music.” It is all the more wonderful that the Catalan, born in 1941, has been one of Styriarte’s closest and most loyal friends for decades and includes the festival in his schedule every year.

Pure delight in baroque music is guaranteed when Jordi Savall conducts his early music orchestra Le Concert des Nation.

The grand seigneur of sensuous sound builds bridges between nations and styles. His newest endeavor: ballet music from Vienna, Paris and London. When Luigi Boccherini’s sister showed her beautiful legs in Gluck’s Don Juan ballet in 1761, the seducer could not resist the temptation and the audience was excited. 30 years before, the ballerina Marie Sallé delighted audiences in Paris and London, dancing to the music of Rebel and Handel.

The performance lasts 60-70 minutes without an interval.
