Project summary

Early Music needs to connect with new audiences and find new formats to present music from the past. Cantoria proposes “breaking the fourth wall” in their new concert formats to connect directly with the audience and putting them at the centre of the performance. In this residency, they will explore new ways of conveying historical and spiritual music to any audience regardless of age, belief, background, or even how they may see life: a new dramaturgy and a new liturgy to reach more people in a more meaningful way, turning the audience's experience from listening to living it first hand, in an emotional and communicative manner. Additionally, Cantoria will explore with bigger casts and will pass on their production and career development experience to new classical music groups.

CANTORÍA

Biography: Cantoría is a vocal ensemble specialising in the performance of vocal polyphony from the Iberian Golden Age repertoire. The freshness, the youthfulness and closeness have become in the distinctive traits of this ensemble, that begins to build a notable national and international career.

Since they were selected for the EEEmerging+ (Emerging European Ensembles) programme, a project supported by the European Union and organised by the Centre Culturel d’Ambronay, they are building an international career thanks to concerts in Italy, Germany, France, Poland, United Kingdom, Belgium, Croatia, Lithuania, Spain and the Netherlands. As a part of EEEmerging project, they released in 2022 their first CD "Ensaladas" with works from the Catalan composer Mateo Flecha "El Viejo".
