Variations on a love song

Lively dances, lovely canzonas, and rousing recercadas, played by a historical ministriles ensemble, convey in this concert an impression of the tremendous joie de vivre and exhilarating joy of festivals and celebrations that radiates from the Spanish town pipers' music of the 16th and 17th centuries.

With its program "Españoletas – Spanish Wind," the early music ensemble Concierteo Ibérico aims to revive the music of the ministriles, the town musicians of the 14th to 18th centuries, and share it with today's listeners. With festive music from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods, the ensemble takes concertgoers on a journey back in time to the Siglo de Oro, Spain's golden age, when composers such as Antonio de Cabezón, Diego Ortiz, and Gaspar Sanz were celebrated throughout Europe.

Concierto Ibérico is an ensemble that specializes in Renaissance and Baroque music and plays on historical wind instruments and all kinds of other instruments.

Through its music, the ensemble aims to promote the cultural 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, they deepen the artistic exploration of the intercultural influences between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, in order to address the audience in a contemporary intercultural dialogue with sounds of the past and the present.
