Festival of Colour: Jordi Savall

Tous les Matins du Monde.

For one rapturous performance only, baroque music superstar Jordi Savall brings to Wanaka the gorgeous music of late 17th century France.

Savall performed the crucial sound track for the film Tous les Matins du Monde – about the composer Marais and his mentor, Sainte-Colombe. The film introduced many listeners to the astoundingly beautiful music of the early French Baroque. The music of the viol was integrated into the storyline with the performance matching the music almost note for note.

Savall and his three fellow musicians return to this sublime repertoire in a concert that features poetic music for solo and multiple viols, graceful dances, dramatic character pieces and more. For more than 50 years, Savall has imbued music-making with humanity and unrivalled artistry.

We are delighted to be presenting the final concert of Savall’s latest world tour – his only concert in New Zealand.
