Voices of Ascension celebrates the centenary of Enric Granados, one of Catalonia’s and Spain’s major composers, in collaboration with the CUNY Foundation for Iberian Music, The Hispanic Society, the Government of Catalonia, and the Sorel Organization. Granados’s long-lost choral fantasy for three choruses, piano, and organ, Song of the Stars, is the focal point of this concert, balanced by the piano version of de Falla’s El Amor Brujo – both epic tales of love and death, yearning and freedom.

Jordi Savall leads this intriguing musical tour through the 1,000-year history of the Venetian Republic and its far-flung territories. Ensembles formed and directed by Savall are joined by a diverse lineup of guest singers and instrumentalists. Together, they perform music that ranges from the Medieval to the Baroque from around the Mediterranean rim, extending through to Persia, the eras of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, and of course to Venice itself: a vibrant musical capital, center of innovation, and home to groundbreaking composers like Willaert, Monteverdi, and Vivaldi, among others.
