Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI
Le Nuove Musiche: The Baroque Revolution in Europe (1560-1660)
Time traveler, globe-trotting adventurer, tireless scholar, virtuoso performer, visionary ensemble leader--Jordi Savall is a gift to us all. Joined by his legendary early-music ensemble Hespèrion XXI, the Cal Performances favorite explores 100 years of history through music in this fascinating new program. The artists travel between the courts and courtyards of Naples, Venice, Rome, Milan, and London, performing works by Emilio de' Cavalieri, Vincenzo Ruffo, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Andrea Falconiero, and others. We may not know exactly where Savall will lead us as he mines the past for treasures that illuminate new connections between historic people and places, cultures, and movements, but we are always thrilled to come along for the ride. "At this stage of a varied and luminous career, each new risk taken by Mr. Savall--and each moment that he and his ensemble are playing--can still feel like a cultural experience worth the journey" (The New York Times).

Early music titan and visionary performer Jordi Savall makes his San Francisco Performances debut with his Celtic Universe program, collaborating with Carlos Núñez and an ensemble of wind players, harp and bodhran. Together they trace the route of Celtic migration, from Ireland to Iberia, through music.
For more than 50 years, Jordi Savall, one of the most versatile musical personalities of his generation, has rescued musical gems from the obscurity of neglect and oblivion and given them back for all to enjoy. A tireless researcher into early music, he interprets and performs the repertory both as a gambist and a conductor. His activities as a concert performer, teacher, researcher and creator of new musical and cultural projects have made him a leading figure in the reappraisal of historical music. Together with Montserrat Figueras, he founded the ensembles Hespèrion XXI (1974), La Capella Reial de Catalunya (1987) and Le Concert des Nations (1989), with whom he explores and creates a world of emotion and beauty shared with millions of early music enthusiasts around the world.
