"Music is the best way to understand the differences between cultures and, at the same time, the points of contact"

Jordi Savall (Igualada, 1941) has spent decades exploring the history of music from a deeply humanistic, rigorous, and open perspective, building bridges between peoples and traditions through centuries of shared musical heritage. On July 10th, he will present at the Occident Porta Ferrada Festival The Silk Road , a proposal that, coinciding with the seventh centenary of Marco Polo's death, musically retraces the Venetian merchant's journey between 1271 and 1295. Led by the historicist ensemble Hespèrion XXI and a cast of soloists from around the world, Savall proposes a musical itinerary that crosses the Eastern Mediterranean, Armenia, Persia, China, Sri Lanka, and the Tatar steppes.
