Proyecto Europa: Beyond the Spanish Goden Age at the London Festival of Baroque Music
The CNDM and the Instituto Cervantes join two of the most important spaces for the promotion of Spanish music as part of the Project Europa 2022/23: The London Festival of Baroque Music, and the National Centre for Early Music in York.
In May 2023, under the title: Beyond the Spanish Golden Age, some of the best Spanish musicians and music groups specialising in the historicist interpretation of the early and baroque Spanish repertoires will step on to the British stage to present this rich musical heritage. The objective of the project is to help these Spanish musicians and groups and to exemplify the richness, uniqueness and quality of Spanish musical heritage.
At the London Festival of Baroque Music, audiences can enjoy performances from Concerto 1700 and their principal violinist and director, Daniel Pinteño, the soprano Lucía Caihuela and the musical group L’Apothéose, soprano Raquel Andueza and La Galanía, guitarist and vihuela player José Miguel Moreno, and La Grand Chapelle, led by Albert Recasens.
The National Centre for Early Music in York will welcome the performances of Raquel Andueza and La Galanía, and Concerto 1700.
This programme has been produced in the name of the Programme for the Internationalisation of Spanish Music and Performing Arts, co-organised by the Instituto Cervantes and the National Centre for the Diffusion of Music, INAEM, and the Spanish Ministry for Culture and Sport, as part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan Framework- financed by the European Union- Nextgeneration.eu. It has the collaboration of the Embassy of Spain in the United Kingdom and the collaboration of Acción Cultural Española, within the framework of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of its PICE program for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture.
