Llums d'Antiga

The fourth edition of Llums d’Antiga will take place in three of Barcelona’s most fascinating ‎mediaeval buildings: the Chapel of Santa Àgata, the Basilica of Santa Maria del Pi and the ‎Monastery of Sant Pau del Camp.‎

Two of the concerts will centre on the works of composer Carlo Gesualdo, performed by two ‎of today’s most renowned vocal ensembles: Exaudi and Graindelavoix.‎

The Festival will open with a performance by Albert Recasens’ La Grande Chapelle. Jordi ‎Savall will explore the art of variation and improvisation in European 17^th ‎century chamber music. Le Consort, with soprano Emmanuelle de Negri, will take audiences ‎on a journey through the melodies of French baroque. The Festival’s final concert features ‎Forma Antiqva’s Zapico brothers performing duets by Steffani, accompanied by countertenor ‎Carlos Mena and soprano Eugenia Boix.‎
