MUSIC OF FIRE AND LOVE: A PROGRAM OF FOLIAS, VARIATIONS, AND IMPROVISATIONS

It is impossible to imagine a better way to conclude the season. Early music legend Jordi Savall returns to San Diego with Hespèrion XXI to present an eclectic and engaging program of folías, battles, laments, variations, and improvisations.

For more than 50 years, Jordi Savall, one of the most versatile musical personalities of his generation, 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.
