About this concert

Under King Alfonso X, nicknamed The Wise, Seville flourished with new architectural wonders and a rich cultural life. Alfonso left the pearl of Andalucía a valuable musical legacy: the Cantigas de Santa María. With its 427 monophonic songs, it is a beacon in Western medieval literature. And who knows, maybe some of the songs were written by the king’s own hand.
