JORDI SAVALL

“Jordi Savall testifies to a common cultural inheritance of infinite variety. He is a man for our time.” (The Guardian)

Jordi Savall is one of the most versatile musical personalities of his generation. For more than fifty years, he has rescued musical gems from the obscurity of neglect and oblivion and given them back for all to enjoy. A tireless researcher into early music, he interprets and performs the repertory both as a gambist and a conductor. 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 the ensembles Hespèrion XXI (1974), La Capella Reial de Catalunya (1987) and Le Concert des Nations (1989), with whom he explores and creates a world of emotion and beauty shared with millions of early music enthusiasts around the world.

This concert is part of the YOCPA project, Youth Orchestra and Choir Professional Academies, led by Fundació Centre Internacional de Música Antiga and co-funded by the European Union. The project offers training and working opportunities to new generations of musicians in order to support them to reach the professional concert scene in Europe.
