Programme Note
Celebrate the festive season Hispanic-style with Nātīvitās, a joyful programme that interlaces original arrangements of music from the Mediterranean and the New World.
The evening journeys through ancient Marian cantigas, Sephardic Hanukkah melodies, Spanish villancicos, and Neapolitan lullabies - music steeped in traditions of devotion and joy.
Drawing on early Christian, Jewish, Moorish Al-Andalus, and folk traditions, the programme explores themes of the Nativity and celebration across cultures. The genre-crossing early music ensemble, La Locura, bring fresh vitality to this Early and traditional repertoire, combining instruments and voices from diverse musical heritages to create a distinctive sound.
All works are arranged specially for the ensemble by Ana Beard Fernández, who directs the performance. There will be audience participation and all are welcome to join in!
This event is organised by ILAMS (Iberian & Latin American Music Society) in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes, with the kind support of St Clement Danes Church and the Spanish Embassy
