19:15 Introduction in Fentener van Vlissingen Foyer

On the banks of the Guadalquivir stands Seville's pride: the Torre del Oro. The twelve-sided tower overlooks the harbour that for centuries was home to Spanish galleons which sailed to South America full of dreams and returned loaded with gold.

With theorbo, three star-soloists and a sublime instrumental cast, Christina Pluhar skips back and forth between the Old and the New World. The golden tower sparkles as usual thanks to the ground-breaking music of the Sevillian Alonso Mudarra. His Tres libros de música and cifra para vihuela houses vocal works that are among the oldest surviving solo songs with instrumental accompaniment. Where terra incognita is revealed, the Baroque beckons in Spanish and South American jácaras, fandangos, folías, canarios, ciacconas, joropos and pajarillos.

About the performers

For each project with L’Arpeggiata, Christina Pluhar brings together a group of exceptional, often young, musicians. Since its foundation in 2000, the ensemble’s concerts and recordings have been warmly received by press and public alike. L’Arpeggiata often brings less familiar repertoire back into the limelight, focusing on French, Italian and Neapolitan music from the 17th century, in which improvisation plays a major role. L’Arpeggiata appears at all the major festivals in Europe and is a very welcome guest in Utrecht.  
 
Christina Pluhar studied classical guitar, lute and harp in Basel, The Hague and Milan, where she studied with Paul O’Dette, Andrew Lawrence King and Jesper Christensen. She began her career in the basso continuo group of ensembles such as La Fenice, Hespèrion XXI, Les Musiciens du Louvre and Cantus Cölln. She directs her own ensemble L’Arpeggiata, which she founded in 2000, and which has produced many memorable concerts and recordings ever since.
