This plucked string trio, whose grain and character are so singularly attuned to the different faces of the Mediterranean, resonates here in a variety of instrumental combinations (solos, duos and trios) through a repertoire made up of works by Italian, French and Spanish composers spanning the Baroque period to the present day. Celebrating the union of popular culture and learned music, the concert opens with a series of variations on the unavoidable theme of the Folía, whose origins date back to around the 15th century, and which has been reinterpreted by several composers over the centuries.

This concert also bears the fiery imprint of the fandango, a traditional dance with a feverish rhythm whose passion and impetuosity are recalled with petulance by composers such as Santiago de Murcia, Luigi Boccherini and Manuel de Falla.
