    Hespérion XXI and its Spanish-Catalan founder Jordi Savallcontinue to remove barriers between musical traditions and evokepast creative collaborations.

    Their latest Wigmore Hall programmearises from venerable Turkish, Armenian and Sephardic workspreserved in The Book of the Science of Music by Dimitrie Cantemir(1673–1723), a polyglot Moldavian soldier who became a virtuosoon the tanbur, the long-necked lute favoured at the Ottomancourt in Istanbul. The multi-national ensemble’s concert includeshaunting laments and pulsating dance songs.
