This Saturday 10th July, the iconic fortress-church of San Bartolomé in the heart of the historic centre of Xàbia will be hosting an epic concert by Ars Magna, a cultural project characterized by its unique concerts, vibrant repertoires and carefully designed staging. Thus, the church will be an ideal place to host their performance of ‘La Misión‘.
Under the ribbed vaults of this temple, a complex production will be recreated with a precious atmosphere, directed by Francesc Gamón and performed by music virtuosos such as the violinist Fernando Pascual, the pianist Aida Velert and the award-winning chamber choir Ad Libitum de la Escola Coral Veus Juntes de Quart de Poblet which won the Grand National Prize for Choral Singing in 2017.
La Misión narrates the thrilling journey led by Father Gabriel, a Jesuit who, faced with the martyrdom of the missionaries of the Society of Jesús, faces his mission of faith in an exciting exchange of cultures that takes him to the Iguazú Falls. The works of renowned composers such as Requiem by Mozart, the powerful Carmina Burana by Karl Orff, and the melodies composed by Ennio Morricone for the film that gives its name to the event; they will be the common thread of the concert.
