Sounds and rhythms of the Mediterranean in Pollensa

Austrian Christina Pluhar is one of Europe's most creative interpreters of baroque, early music; she plays the harp, the theorbo, the lute and the baroque guitar.

In 2000 she founded an ensemble, L'Arpeggiata, which focuses on music from the 17th century. This ensemble has worked with musicians from different genres, such as jazz, and has placed an emphasis on instrumental improvisation. Its programmes therefore contain the unexpected, with a return to the type of freedom that musicians from the baroque era enjoyed.

This freedom will find the ensemble teaming up with Italian singer and dancer Vincenzo Capezzuto and legendary Mallorcan folk singer Maria del Mar Bonet for a concert that will feature Capezzuto and Bonet compositions. Under the title of 'Sounds, rhythms, tunes and songs of the Mediterranean tradition', this will be the second of the concerts for this year's Pollensa Festival.
