“A conductor is like a father who takes care to ensure that his children don’t do anything bad, but otherwise lets them be free. Just like a child, every musical personality must be allowed to develop. Every singer has to feel that everything depends on him at every moment. Mind and body, voice and thought must be 100% in harmony with each other – then everything is right. True creativity can only come when you are free of everything.”

For more than 40 years, has been drawing global attention to musical works that were in danger of disappearing. For Jordi Savall, music is one of the most universal means of expression and communication. In his concert programmes, music becomes a medium of understanding and a means of communication and of peace.
