About this event

Together with Andrew Lawrence-King and Frank McGuire, Jordi Savall invites us on a journey rich in emotional content and artistic sensibility to explore the heart of Celtic melody. The music is enriched by the variety of timbre of Savall’s ensemble (viol, harp and percussion). This concert is an invitation to rediscover the expressive vitality and the melodic and poetic wealth of an exceptional repertoire that has come down to us through oral tradition.
