Around twenty musicians will soon be gathered around the great Catalan musician Jordi Savall, beginning with the ensembles La Capella Reial de Catalunya and Hespèrion XXI, not to mention special guests from Canada and beyond. Entitled Chants, batailles et danses de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Monde 1100–1780, Jordi Savall will take us on a journey through seven centuries of history! On the program: conquests, suffering, oppression, slavery, but also hopes, redemptions, fruitful encounters between cultures, and luminous and successful fusions. Drawn from distant periods, from the medieval and Renaissance eras, the songs and dances of this ambitious program also highlight the universal nature of music as the quintessential language of communication between peoples, whether at war or at peace. Set to music, this historical panorama will be presented on Saturday, April 18, at the Maison symphonique de Montréal. Reached at his home in Europe, Jordi Savall cordially explains to us the contents of his next stop in the New World.
