Our next International Series performance is Hesperion XXI
Sunday, March 14, 2010
Jordi Savall and his famed ensemble Hesperion XXI return to Seattle with Lux Feminae, an homage to the women in Medieval and Renaissance song and instrumental music. It is an invocation to femininity as the key to the spiritual world, as told through seven contrasting musical moods depicting mysticism, sensuality, motherhood, love, grief, rejoicing, and wisdom. Jordi Savall leads an ensemble of
four, including voices, harp, oud, cithara, psaltry, flutes, rebab, lira d'arco, and percussion.
