New release: "Españoletas - Spanish Wind".
Sounds from the Golden Age - The Ministriles and their music around 1600
Españoletas- Spanish Wind" wants to resurrect the playing of these ministriles and also let today's listeners participate in it. With festive music of the Renaissance and early Baroque, we take the concert mugs on a journey back in time to the Siglo de Oro, the golden age of Spain, when composers such as Antonio de Cabezón, Diego Ortiz and Gaspar Sanz were celebrated throughout Europe.
In this concert, lively dances, lovely canzonas and rousing recercadas, played by a historical Ministriles ensemble, convey an impression of the tremendous joie de vivre and the exhilarating desire for festivities and celebrations that shines out at us from the Spanish town piper music of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Concierto Ibérico
brings Spanish music from the Renaissance and Baroque to Bremen
Spanish music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, as well as their influences on all of Europe, are the focus of the work of our ensemble Concierto Ibérico.
We play this music on various historical instruments, with each musician mastering several wind, keyboard or plucked instruments; entirely in the spirit of the historical sources, where for this repertoire one likes to speak of "all kinds of instruments". Occasionally we also work together with dancers or singers.
Through our music we aim to promote the intercultural exchange between Spain and the rest of Europe that has existed since the Siglo de Oro, Spain's golden age from around the mid-16th to mid-17th centuries. Beyond the European borders, we deepen our artistic exploration of the intercultural influences between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, in order to address our audience in a contemporary intercultural dialogue with sounds of the past and present.
We especially like to present our music in historical, but also in alternative and innovative places and festivals. In recent years, for example, we have played in the newly established Center for Art in Bremen's Tabakquartier and in Leipzig's Kulturnhalle or in Hamburg's St. Petri Church and Bremen Cathedral, or in festivals such as World Book Day (2023), the Arp Schnitger Days (2022), Diademus (2021), and a tour in Spain (2019) to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Bremen Town Musicians.
In cooperation with the creative educational organizer StattReisen Bremen, we take the visitors together with a tour guide into the Bremen of the 16th century and present the music of the real town musicians in a Wandelkonzert with a city tour: KonzertStattReise. In addition, we offer fresh a KonzertStattReise Around the city development, the numerous enjoyment and inspiration of tobacco in the Bremen Tobacco Quarter.
As a young ensemble we have been selected and supported by Kulturstiftung der Länder, Deutscher Musikrat and the Bremen Senator for Culture. In 2022 we released our first CD "Españoletas - Spanish Wind".

Does this lively and characterful music touch you as deeply as it touches us?
Making music on historical or reconstructed instruments, researching the musical sources and transferring the facsimiles to playable sheet music requires framework conditions that are linked to very intensive musical work, permanent investments and an unimaginably high financial outlay.
If you would like to support the realization of new projects, enable exclusive recordings on CD or contribute to the maintenance or expansion of the instruments, please contact us([email protected]). By doing so, you support innovative and sustainable projects that have a (supra)regional connection.
