Orchestra

This orchestra, founded by Jordi Savall and his wife Montserrat Figueras in 1989, is a sounding legend. It is made up of first-rate specialists in early music - and is constantly committed to the ideal of a lively synthesis of historically informed performance practice and personal appropriation of art.

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.

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.
