This concert is repeated on Thursday 19 December, 1.00pm.

Change of Artist

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Xavier Puertas (violone) is no longer able to take part this concert. We are grateful to Anna Lachegyi (violone) for stepping in as his replacement. The programme remains the same.

A legendary figure in the establishment and development of the Early Music movement, Jordi Savall has contributed as much as any individual to the current popularity of works from the distant past. He brings with him the ensemble he founded 50 years ago, and which retains the sheer vitality and explorative excellence that has marked his entire career. The programme celebrates a tradition of consort music that lasted for two centuries and traversed many countries – with English composers notable for their prominence.
