Ensemble Pro Victoria

Easter from the Spanish Golden Age

Thursday 21 April 2022

This event has passed.

Join one of Britain’s finest young vocal ensembles, Ensemble Pro Victoria for this musical and historical tour through one of the richest eras of European culture.

The Spanish Golden Age or Siglo de Oro (c.1492 – 1659) – architects and artists flocked to the country, great palaces and cathedrals were constructed, and music, art and literature reigned supreme. Under King Philip (1556 – 1598), composition and musical performance flourished.

Easter from the Spanish Golden Age pieces together this fascinating journey from the earliest great Spanish Siglo de Oro composer, Cristóbal de Morales, through to Spain’s musical legacy at the end of the age – music written over a hundred years later in Puebla, Mexico.
