About this concert

In the 18th century, Francisco Pérez Mirabal built the most beautiful harpsichords in Seville. Around that time, Francisco de Tejada compiled the first Spanish keyboard collection there and Seville became the home of Domenico Scarlatti. Francisco Correa de Arauxo was Seville's very own keyboard ‘pope’ and Antonio Soler the cathedral's brilliant organ consultant... Diego Ares leaves no stone unturned to unravel this love story between Seville and keyboard music.

About the performer

Diego Ares is one of the most gifted harpsichordists of our time. He was fourteen when he discovered his love of the harpsichord, and four years later he moved from Spain to the Netherlands in order to study with Richard Egarr. He continued his studies at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, where he graduated summa cum laude. Diego Ares performs both as a soloist and with various ensembles, including the Nederlandse Bachvereniging. His CD recordings of music by Soler and Domenico Scarlatti and Bach’s Goldberg Variations have been extremely well received.
