DUBAI – The Spain Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai is bringing the unique and distinctive sounds of the country’s medieval music to the event, performed by Artefactum, one of the most distinguished ensembles of early Spanish music.
There will be two performances open to the public: one on Wednesday 13 October at the Sun Stage at 1800 GST, and the other on Thursday 14 October at the Terra Auditorium at 1830 GST.
With a history of more than 25 years of live performances, Artefactum is renowned for maintaining the authenticity and originality of medieval music, with the ability to make it relevant and appealing to modern audiences.
Through a dramatic stage concept, and using ancient instruments that help portray the intrinsic beauty of original compositions, Artefactum takes audiences on a journey through the medieval age: we pass noisy taverns, feel the reclusion of the monasteries, walk country roads and market streets – all courtesy of the musical exploration that unfolds.
The medieval music performances are among the many events lined up by the Spain Pavilion, which celebrates smart creativity – uniting people around sustainable projects in the fields of science, technology, production, education and art.
