Folías Antiguas & Criollas – From the Ancient World to the New World
Grammy Award-winning “early music superstar” (New York Times) Jordi Savall, and two acclaimed ensembles, Hespèrion XXIand Tembembe Ensamble Continuo, perform at QPAC’s Concert Hall for one night only.
Multi-instrumentalist, virtuoso, conductor, scholar, teacher and record label director, Jordi Savall defies categorisation. In a career spanning five decades, he has rescued forgotten medieval, Renaissance and Baroque treasures from neglect and obscurity and given them back for all to enjoy.
In Folías Antiguas & Criollas, the vibrant music of ancient Spain and Mexico is brought to life in a performance that blurs borders between genres, past and present, east and west – all the while keeping Savall’s Spanish/Catalan roots at the heart of his music.
ABOUT JORDI SAVALL
Early music master Jordi Savall is one of the world’s greatest and most adventurous musicians. He created a wide audience for the viola da gamba, an instrument so refined that it takes us to the very brink of silence. His career as a concert performer, teacher, researcher and creator of new projects, both musical and cultural, make him one of the principal architects of the current revaluation of historical music.
