JohansenIl Viaggio d’AmoreIl Viaggio d’Amore – A musical journey of loveArianna Savall, soprano and harpist, daughter of the Catalan viola da gamba virtuoso Jordi Savall and soprano Montserrat Figueras, is one of the most influential representatives of historical performance practice of our time. As an artistic director, she develops programs in which historical music, traditional songs, and her own compositions come together to form a lively, independent sound language. Together with the Norwegian musician Petter Udland Johansen and their ensemble Hirundo Maris, she invites you on a musical journey that explores love in all its facets. Il Viaggio d’Amore leads through countries and centuries – from the Mediterranean across the Alps to the Nordic expanse and to Chile, from the Renaissance to the present day. Delicate songs, passionate chants, and poetic instrumental pieces create a dense yet expansive musical arc, carried by triple harp, cittern, Hardanger fiddle, guitar, and subtle percussion. An evening that celebrates love and takes the audience on a poetic journey through space and time.
