Imaginary dances<\/h1>\n

ELOQVENTIA<\/h3>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to its distinctive approach to medieval repertoire in a duet format, Imaginary Dances has become Eloqventia\u2019s most innovative and characteristic project. The program offers a journey through the instrumental music of the Late Middle Ages through works performed exclusively with flute and percussion. Most of the repertoire comes from two fundamental collections of the period: the Chansonnier du Roi of Paris and the Italian Codex 29987 preserved in the library of the British Museum in London.<\/p>\n

Because our current knowledge of medieval repertoire is limited, modern performers must approach it knowing that a degree of speculation is inevitable. Hence the title of the program: the dances are \u201cimaginary\u201d because they arise from the ensemble\u2019s own creative imagination. They become free recreations of the brief melodic lines preserved in medieval codices, enriched through ornamentation and improvisation grounded in musicological research.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with the Medieval Week of Montblanc.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Elkano: the first circumnavigation of the world<\/h1>\n

<\/h1>\n

EUSKAL BARROKENSEMBLE<\/h3>\n

Enrike Solin\u00eds, conductor<\/i><\/h3>\n

Jordi Boixaderas, actor<\/i><\/h3>\n
\n

More than five hundred years ago, the Basque navigator Juan Sebasti\u00e1n Elkano embarked on the expedition initially led by Ferdinand Magellan in search of the Spice Islands. The journey culminated in the first circumnavigation of the globe, a milestone that forever transformed the understanding of our planet and the course of world history.
\nThis concert invites us to rediscover that world and its era from a contemporary perspective, with Elkano as the captain of a sonic journey from Europe to America through Asia and the Near East, guided by the music of Euskal Barrokensemble and the spoken word of Jordi Boixaderas.<\/p>\n

Euskal Barrokensemble returns here to its origins as an ensemble, reminding us that global connection lies at the essence of our humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the arrival of the Roma people in the Iberian Peninsula, violin virtuoso Tcha Limberger and the Budapest Gipsy Ensemble present a fascinating repertoire within the style known as magyar n\u00f3ta.<\/p>\n

Originating in early\u201119th\u2011century Hungary, this music was initially composed by the nobility and performed mainly by Romungro (Hungarian Roma) musicians, who gradually made the style their own. Although not an ancient folk tradition, these pieces\u2014today in danger of disappearing\u2014feature airy harmonies and extremely free tempos that demand great technical mastery and interpretive sensitivity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Concert for an eclipse<\/h1>\n

Works by G.F. Handel & H. Purcell<\/h3>\n

Josep Maria Mart\u00ed, theorbo & baroque guitar<\/h3>\n
\n

Coinciding with the total solar eclipse that will cross the Iberian Peninsula this August, we will enjoy an intimate concert for theorbo and Baroque guitar revisiting Baroque arias by Handel, Purcell and Vis\u00e9e in delicate and evocative arrangements. The proposal combines virtuosity, early music and a unique sensory experience: witnessing the transformation of the sky while listening to soundscapes inspired by the past and by memory.<\/p>\n

Essayist Ram\u00f3n Andr\u00e9s writes in the liner notes of the album: \u201c…the resonance box of a theorbo can become a stage, hosting the voices that inhabit it and turning into a small portion of the universe living between the walls of carefully chosen wood.\u201d This universe contained within the instrument\u2014called by Baroque poets a \u201ccrystal fountain\u201d and described by G\u00f3ngora as a \u201cswan of feathers\u201d\u2014becomes a metaphor for the ineffable: an instrument of nostalgia that reminds us that everything moves forward without pause.<\/p>\n

We invite you to immerse yourself in the life and times of Nicolaus Copernicus, the Polish astronomer who, through irrefutable calculations, demonstrated heliocentrism and forever changed our understanding of the universe, shaking the foundations of Western thought. Music becomes the guiding thread of a narrative that transports us to the turbulent Europe of the Renaissance, marked by wars, religious reforms and profound political and cultural transformations.<\/p>\n

Each work has been selected to correspond with a specific episode in the astronomer\u2019s life. The program brings together composers such as Cl\u00e9ment Janequin, Josquin des Prez and Heinrich Isaac, with special attention to Polish composers of the period and anonymous music of the Polish Renaissance recovered through meticulous archival research, including in the Vatican archives. The evening will also feature Hispanic influences with pieces from the Spanish repertoire of the time. The result will be a fascinating journey through time in which history, science and music come together\u2014placing the Sun once again at the center of the universe, even at night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Seven female musicians from different countries in Africa and the Near East, together with the performance of the renowned actress S\u00edlvia Bel, pay tribute to women as an essential force in history and in life. Often made invisible yet always present, women have played a fundamental and decisive role both in major historical events and in the small but essential matters of everyday life. Since the earliest civilizations, women have exercised power, governance and resistance, proving that leadership depends not on gender but on courage and vision. And beyond thrones and battles, their importance is rooted in the transmission of life, culture, knowledge and ways of understanding the world.<\/p>\n

Their voices have sustained peoples and kept communities alive: work, craftsmanship, care for loved ones and agriculture have been accompanied by melodies that embody collective memory, emotions and values. Women have sung at every stage of life\u2014at birth, in love, in mourning and in hope\u2014becoming a source of patience, resilience and action throughout time. This concert, therefore, is not merely a performance but a celebration of this feminine memory and creativity: an invitation to listen to a history that still beats strongly today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A girl named Matilda has heard people in her town say that one of her friends\u2014an elderly woman who is somewhat peculiar\u2014is a witch. She does not understand why they say so and decides to ask her directly. The woman, whose name is Mileva (Einstein), instead of answering, asks Matilda whether she knows what a witch is. They then consult The Book of Witches and speak about Artemisia (Gentileschi), who does not perform magic with a wand but with paintbrushes; Mae (Jamison), who does not fly on a broom but can fly even higher in her rocket; and Greta (Thunberg), who not only predicts the future but wants to change it. And if all of them are witches, who would not want to be one as well?<\/p>\n

This family performance is a journey among paintbrushes, stars and our planet\u2014a small story about great women in history, in which music by G. P. Telemann, W. Pistorius and D. Ortiz will be accompanied by the voice of a narrator and the hands and drawings of an illustrator.<\/p>\n

Lumen Tenebrae<\/h1>\n

Vocal polyphonies of light and shadow, from Victoria to Bernat Vivancos (premiere)<\/h3>\n

JOVE CAPELLA REIAL DE CATALUNYA<\/h3>\n

Llu\u00eds Vilamaj\u00f3, conductor<\/i><\/h3>\n
\n

This year the Festival presents the world premiere of Lumen tenebrae, a work by composer Bernat Vivancos written especially for this edition and inspired by the solar eclipse of August 12, 2026. Without mentioning it explicitly, the piece engages with this extraordinary phenomenon from a symbolic and spiritual dimension: the light that emerges from darkness, the brightness that inhabits the very heart of shadow.<\/p>\n

With a Latin title\u2014drawn from the opening verses of Genesis (1:1\u201310 and 14\u201318)\u2014the work evokes the primordial moment of creation, when light was separated from darkness and the cosmos acquired order and meaning. Vivancos constructs an a cappella sonic architecture for eight voices, exploring the contrast between density and transparency, shadow and radiance, silence and expansion.<\/p>\n

The Jove Capella Reial de Catalunya, conducted by Llu\u00eds Vilamaj\u00f3, will take on the challenge of this new score conceived specifically for their sound and artistic sensibility. The program will be completed with polyphonic motets by Tom\u00e1s Luis de Victoria, Crist\u00f3bal de Morales and other masters of the Hispanic Renaissance, establishing a bridge between tradition and contemporary creation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The early music and historically informed performance of the duo\u2014who have also explored contemporary repertoire and improvisation\u2014will serve as a vehicle for exploring sound worlds beyond those of a conventional concert. The interdisciplinary element will play a central role, and the presence of Borr\u00e0s\u2014who has already developed performances inspired by the universe and celestial bodies\u2014will be key in crossing territories rarely explored in classical music and suggesting entirely enriching experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Two emerging stars who will join a formation that is an essential reference for understanding the evolution of music from the Middle Ages to the Baroque: Hesp\u00e8rion XXI.<\/p>\n

With works by major composers alongside anonymous and popular pieces, we will immerse ourselves in the music of a time when domestic instrumental practice flourished among courtiers.<\/p>\n

\n

Twelve months of the year, twelve miniatures combining lyricism, strength and introspection: Fanny Mendelssohn composed Das Jahr in 1841 on colored sheets of paper, accompanied them with short poems, and her husband\u2014the painter Wilhelm Hensel, to whom the work was dedicated\u2014completed them with twelve small illustrations.<\/p>\n

Some suggest that each fragment represents a stage of life, evoking the fleeting nature of time; others see it as a retrospective diary of her stay in Italy.<\/p>\n

In any case, it is a work originally conceived as interdisciplinary, revealing a clear artistic personality and a rich and imaginative pianistic language. In keeping with this spirit, the renowned Russian keyboard player Olga Pashchenko will bring these scores to life accompanied by actress Elena Tarrats, who will read poetry by Mireia Calafell, Blanca Llum Vidal, Greta Sibling and Anna Tobias: an intimate and evocative proposal in which sound and word intertwine to create a delicate and unique stage experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Symphonies of Felix Mendelssohn<\/h1>\n

A symphonic painter of landscapes and musical traditions<\/h3>\n

LE CONCERT DES NATIONS<\/h3>\n

Jordi Savall, conductor<\/i><\/h3>\n
\n

\u201cI have consciously taken on my profession as a traveler,\u201d wrote a young Mendelssohn in the early 1830s when, barely in his twenties, he embarked on a long journey across Europe to discover the world, confront the modernity of his time and present his talent. From that life experience emerged the works featured in this program: an overture evoking the wild immensity of the Scottish coast\u2014The Hebrides (\u201cFingal\u2019s Cave\u201d)\u2014and two symphonies that contrast very different atmospheres and characters.<\/p>\n

From the deep impression left on him by the northern lands to the brightness, energy and momentum of the south. From the ruins of the chapel of Holyrood in Edinburgh to the humor and joy of a Mediterranean society\u2014vibrant and brilliant. The Scottish Symphony and the Italian Symphony speak of a musical journey that was also a journey of growth and discovery. With this same open and inquisitive spirit, Le Concert des Nations and maestro Jordi Savall will close this year\u2019s festival beneath the sky and stars of Santes Creus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
