Hesperion XXI: The Golden Age of Consort Viol Music
Hesperion XXI presents a virtual tour of 16th- and 17th-century Europe with music for five violas da gamba, lute, and percussion, directed by Jordi Savall.
The premier Spanish ensemble Hesperion XXI, directed by its founder Jordi Savall, returns to Early Music Guild’s International Series to present music for five violas da gamba, lute, and percussion. Their program is a virtual tour of 16th- and 17th- century Europe, with works by John Dowland, Antonio de Cabezón, Michel Philidor, Samuel Scheidt, Luigi Rossi, and others.
One of the most multifariously gifted musicians of his generation, Jordi Savall’s 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.
