Le Concert des Nations is the famous orchestra created by Jordi Savall, one of the most renowned and decorated musician of European period performance of the last 50 years. Indefatigable scholar, conductor, and viola da gamba player, Savall brings lost and forgotten masterpieces to the light of day.

By playing paradigmatic pieces of Bach, Händel, Purcell on period instruments, Catalonia native Savall introduces his audience to the previously unknown depths of Mediterranean ancient music, primarily this of Spain. For him, no borders exist – neither national, nor temporal, while he dives to the depths of 12^th or even 11^th centuries, and his programmes sometimes fuse Mediterranean musical traditions with those of Middle East.

The programme that Jordi Savall and Le Concert des Nations are going to perform at “Zaryadye” is dubbed “Tempests, Storms, and Sea Festivities”.

The theme of tempest, often found in baroque music, Savall treats in an unusual way. He presents some real music rarities. For instance, “Les Élémens” by Jean-Féry Rebel, and Matthew Locke’s music to the Shakespeare’ “Tempest”.
