Jordi Savall The Millenarian Venice: Gateway to the East

This Event is part of "La Serenissima: Music and Arts from the Venetian Republic";

Jordi Savall leads this intriguing musical tour through the 1,000-year history of the Venetian Republic and its far-flung territories. Ensembles formed and directed by Savall are joined by a diverse lineup of guest singers and instrumentalists. Together, they perform music that ranges from the Medieval to the Baroque from around the Mediterranean rim, extending through to Persia, the eras of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, and of course to Venice itself: a vibrant musical capital, center of innovation, and home to groundbreaking composers like Willaert, Monteverdi, and Vivaldi, among others.
