PROGRAMME INFORMATION

​

This intimate morning coffee-concert programme of music for violin, viola da gamba and guitar highlights the blossoming of Spanish baroque music after El Siglo de Oro (Spain’s “Golden Century”), combining the diverse cultures of the Hapsburg Empire which existed across Europe whilst drawing on Spain’s Moorish past.​ At the same time, it signals the introduction of the Spanish guitar as an essential element in the music of Spain during the baroque period, as exemplified by the music of virtuoso guitarist composers Gaspar Sanz and Santiago de Murcia. Acclaimed lutenist and guitarist Lucas Harris joins festival favourites Marc Destrubé and Natalie Mackie to perform this enchanting music.
