The vocal quartet Cantoría, which made its debut at the Festival de Torroella de Montgrí in 2019 and returned in 2020 as an EEEmerging group, proposes celebrating the International Early Music Day with a concert of Ensaladas—a Renaissance musical form in a madrigal style that blends diverse elements. This genre was particularly popular in the Iberian Peninsula during the 16th century, especially among the aristocracy, serving both to entertain and to provide moral and social commentary in courtly life. Mateu Fletxa el Vell is the composer who best represents this genre, shaping its characteristic form. This concert is dedicated to his work and will also feature instrumental pieces by his contemporaries, such as the gambist and music theorist Diego Ortiz and the renowned violist Luis de Narváez.
