Music by F. C. de Arauxo, T. Merula, C. Monterverdi, N. Berrill e.a.

Dive into the hypnotic ecstasy of Golden Age Spain through the music of Francisco Correa de Arauxo and other Iberian organists. Correa, a prodigious organist from the age of fifteen and author of the renowned Facultad Organica, combines organ, viols, and harp to create intense, meditative polyphony, rich in ornamentation and expressive nuance. His music reflects the mysticism of the era, deep religious devotion, and the contrasting emotions that characterize the emerging Baroque. A fascinating sonic journey between contemplation, sensuality, and instrumental virtuosity.

Naomi Berrill and Francesca Benetti come from different countries and from different musical worlds. This is the first time they perform together after collaborating during an artistic residency in Bari earlier this year. They have chosen to contrast a baroque repertoire with Naomi 's original compositions, and with contemporary works written specifically for them both as individual artists. There is beauty in finding a common thread and a dialogue between different worlds and different ways of thinking and interpreting, both in music and in society. Finding this thread makes us richer as artists and as individuals.
