The Royal Wind Music 

The Royal Wind Music

NB: this concert takes place in the Jacobikerk instead of the Pieterskerk

In 1401, Seville decided to build a cathedral where the main mosque had previously stood. Santa María has now been the shining city centre for six hundred years and the third largest Christian church in Europe. Every stone tells a story, as Royal Wind Music knows. This Renaissance recorder ensemble guides us from the Patio de los Naranjos (Courtyard of the Orange Trees) to the chancel with Moorish-style improvisations, works from cathedral manuscripts and polyphony by heavyweights Guerrero, Morales and Fuenllana.
