Since ancient times, one of humanity’s concerns has been how to measure and understand time. One of the ways in which time comes to life is through the art of music, for it is both created and destroyed at the same time. It is memory and oblivion.

 

In Tierra de Campos, the sense of space evokes and embodies an immense reality, like meditating on the banks of a river with an ever-flowing current. Here, contemplating the landscape, the stones, the sky, is an invitation to let the imagination run wild until one perceives the immeasurable.

 

Making music in this setting is an ideal encounter between the present and the past; it is to experience the beauty of these spaces where art and faith have been central to thrilling historical moments. Through various musical ensembles, we will experience history, styles and sounds, whilst also reviving the craft of music for younger generations thanks to the course’s educational activities.

​

The International Early Music Festival in Tierra de Campos is a dream come true and a treat for the villages and the region. It will be an excellent opportunity to experience the magic of the moment and the perception of the infinite.

May this edition, into which we have poured all our efforts, serve as a gesture of gratitude to those great ancestors who knew how to capture extraordinary harmonic structures in their works and find the exact sounds for the joy and exaltation of the human spirit.
