2021 marks the 800th anniversary of the birth of Alfonso X, King of Léon and Castile, who was nicknamed "the wise". We'll celebrate with performances of his Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of religious songs written in the vernacular. Our performers include Hana Blazikova, Barbora Kabatkova, Margit Ubellacker, and Martin Novak. We'll also hear arrangements of two cantigas performed by Jordi Savall and Pedro Estevan.
