Overview
A peerless musician and conductor as well as an impeccable scholar, Jordi Savall is a "performer of genius," says The New Yorker. He returns with a fascinating musical journey in time and space, devised on a dialogue of Arabo-Andalusian, Jewish, and Christian music from medieval Spain and around the Mediterranean.
June 9: Orient-Occident: music from ancient Spain and the Ottoman Empire, medieval Italy, Persian Afghanistan, and more
June 10: Istanbul: featuring Sefardic, Armenian, and Turkish music showcased in Moldavian prince Dimitrie Cantemir's The Book of Science and Music, published in 1710 after he spent many years in Istanbul.
