WHAT HAPPENS
The shape of it
Concerts in the village church
Most performances take place in the parish church of Colònia de Sant Pere and in Artà's parish church — intimate stone acoustics for a repertoire of pre-19th-century music.
Period instruments, historicist approach
Baroque music played on baroque instruments, medieval vocal music read from original sources — the use of original early instruments and a historicist reading of each piece is part of the festival's DNA.
A charming seaside setting
The week unfolds in Colònia de Sant Pere, one of the most charming villages on Mallorca's northeast coast, alongside talks, film screenings and workshops on early music.
