Ana López Suero

Music was not only heard in the churches and on the streets of Seville, but also indoors. Many Sevillians had lutes, vihuelas, harps and keyboard instruments. Many of these instruments were built inside the city. Noble girls were expected to play the harpsichord to attract a suitable husband. In gardens and from open windows, the sweet sounds so appreciated by Miguel de Cervantes on his visit to Seville could be heard.

Tickets can be reserved for free from Wednesday 14 August.

Due to personal circumstances, Tess Knighton will be replaced by Ana López Suero.
