Nobody understands the art of setting early music in its historical context better than Jordi Savall. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, LONDON

Jordi Savall’s Hespèrion XXI  has been at the forefront of period performance for more than thirty years. The group searches continuously for a dynamic synthesis between musical expression, stylistic and historical research and creative imagination. This scintillating reconstruction of the rich exuberance of music from other ages has breathed new life into current musical thought, and endlessly delights the group’s countless followers around the globe.

The four acclaimed members of the remarkable Savall family, Jordi, Montserrat, Arianna and Ferran, form the core of the group’s long-awaited return to Australia. The family’s exceptional and distinctive voices combine with rich instrumental colours to make musical magic that transcends all expectations.
