Renowned soprano Nuria Rial will unite with the brilliant Fahmi Alqhai on the quinton, along with the widely acclaimed European vanguards of early music - the Accademia del Piacere ensemble, to bring the festival audiences an inspiring fresh music programme through which they will earnestly convey their conception of historical music as being alive and full of emotion.

Accademia del Piacere have been revealing new facets in fundamental repertoires of historical music such as the Italian Seicento (Le Lacrime di Eros, Amorti di Marte), the Spanish music of the Renaissance (Rediscovering Spain and the imminent CD Colombina) or the theatrical music of the Spanish Baroque (Muera Cupido, with Nuria Rial). This has led them to receive prizes such as Choc de Classica (France), Prelude Award (Netherlands), Opus Klassik Award 2020 to the Best Solo Vocal Recital–Opera (Muera Cupido, for Rial) and GEMA Award to the Best Spanish Baroque ensemble (2016 and 2017), among many others.
