Ensemble La Spagna, which got its name from one of the most famous Renaissance melodies, was founded by Marías in 2009 by uniting the best musicians-historians of his generation, The ensemble performs in two ways, both as a chamber group and as a baroque orchestra, playing operas and oratorios together with soloists and guest conductors.
La Spagna will perform Bach’s sonatas for viola da gamba (foot viol) and harpsichord.
The third event, on November 21 in the la Mercè Church, will feature the Sol Negre ensemble performing a theatrical concert Les metamorfosis, in which 17th-century English music combines with monologues of ancient myths.
The cycle will end on November 30th at the Cathedral, where Capella de la Seu, conducted by Joan Company, will perform works from “the Mass” by Cristóbal Morales, as well as contemporary compositions by Francesc Batlle and Albert Alcaraz, entitled “Sacred Music of the 16th Century”.
