Artist Conversation with Jordi Savall

In a rare Cal Performances at Home interview filmed pre-pandemic (after his performance in Berkeley on Feb 1, 2020, at the First Congregational Church), early music superstar Jordi Savall sits down with Executive and Artistic Director Jeremy Geffen to discuss his many visits to Cal Performances over the years, the importance of bringing not-as-well-known early and ancient composers and works to modern audiences, Monteverdi and his Madrigals of Love and War, and more in this Beyond the Stage artist talk.

This artist conversation video is presented in conjunction with the Jordi Savall and his musicians’ performance, part of the 2020/21 Cal Performances at Home Spring Season.
