About this concert

The young Sevillan harpsichordist Irene Roldán tells the story of 18th-century Spain, where Madrid was the pinnacle of keyboard art and Scarlatti cast long shadows over his Iberian brothers. But Sebastián de Albero, José de Nebra and Carlos Seixas also have a lot to say. With the Spanish Golden Age, local folk music and Italian virtuosity in a delightful swirl, this round of keyboard is a flavor bomb.

About the performers

Harpsichordist Irene Roldán was born in southern Spain in 1997. She began to cultivate a profound passion for this instrument and the early music world when she was only 7 years old. Her dedication led her to pursue her studies in Spain, The Netherlands, and Switzerland. For the past several years, Irene has focused her studies and research on Spanish music from the 16th to 18th centuries, with special attention to Sevillian composer Francisco Correa de Araujo, as well as Scarlatti and his contemporaries. The latter has been the theme for her debut album Scarlatti & Beyond, which was recorded in June 2023.
