Accademia del Piacere
After the overseas expeditions of Christopher Columbus, Seville experienced its Golden Age. The city became the commercial hub and cultural hotspot of Southern Europe and, with its cathedral, possessed an attraction for musicians of the calibre of Alonso Mudarra and Francisco Peraza. The undisputed star was Francisco Guerrero: for many years kapellmeister at the cathedral and ambassador of the villancico. Accademia del Piacere turns its attention towards vocal and instrumental High Renaissance.
