About this concert
When the Alcázar of Madrid burned down in 1734, an important part of Spain's musical heritage was lost along with the Moorish castle. Fortunately, this fate did not befall the manuscript La Sablonara, preserved in Munich: a vault full of musical crown jewels. Fahmi Alqhai and Accademia del Piacere make the precious gems shine again: the folías of Mateo ‘Capitán’ Romero, the melodious romances of Juan de Torres, fiery fandangos, and seguidillas that make it impossible to sit still.

About the performers
Accademia del Piacere was founded in 2002 by Syrian/Spanish gambist Fahmi Alqhai. The group won high praise for its programmes centred on Monteverdi’s Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, and for French chamber music from the time of Louis XIV. In collaboration with flamenco singer Arcángel, Accademia del Piacere explored the relationship between flamenco and Baroque music. The ensemble has numerous CD awards to its name, and won the Spanish GEMA Award for Best Baroque Ensemble in 2016 and 2017.
