Valencia (March 26, 2025). The Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia proposes a journey through the influence of the Neapolitan School on 18th-century Spanish music with the specialized group Mediterrània Consort and soprano Aurora Peña this Friday, March 28, at the Teatre Martín i Soler (7:30 p.m.).

The 'Les Arts és Barroc i Música Antiga' cycle maintains its commitment to the Valencian musical fabric with the debut of this innovative musical project directed by the concert performer and recorder teacher, David Antich, who will perform accompanied by Aurora Peña, also from Valencia, one of the leading voices in the baroque and classical repertoire.

Under the evocative title of 'The Gaze of Parthenope', referring to the original name of the city of Naples, Mediterrània Consort delves into the fruitful musical exchange thanks to the period when the Italian metropolis was part of the Kingdom of Spain.

The program intersperses works by Ignacio de Jerusalem, Giovanni Zamboni, Francesco Mancini, Domenico Sarro and Riccardo Broschi, with Spaniards such as José de Nebra, Antoni Martín i Coll and the presence of Valencians such as Joan Baptista Cabanilles and Francisco Hernández Yllana.

Founded by David Antich in 2015, Mediterrània Consort is comprised of highly prestigious musicians dedicated to the dissemination, teaching, and performance of Early and Baroque Music in Spain. Their work, which combines artistic rigor with Mediterranean interpretive passion, has earned the ensemble numerous awards from specialized journals, as well as critical and popular acclaim.
