Third proposal of the Cicle Primavera organized by the Felanitx Town Hall. Directed by Llorenç Gelabert Gual, the concert brings us closer to two Baroque composers: Antoni Lliteres (Arà, Mallorca, 1673-Madrid, 1747) and Joan Rossell (Barcelona, 1724-Toledo, 1780).
Antoni Lliteres was one of the main Baroque zarzuela authors, with titles such as Júpiter y Danae, Hasta lo insensible adora or Celos no guardan respeto. He is also the author of two operas, a dozen religious works, and two secular works.
For his part, Joan Rossell was chapelmaster of Santa Ana in Palma, and before that he had been the chapelmaster of the cathedral of Tarragona. He is the author of 177 ecclesiastical works, including 34 masses in Latin and 135 Christmas carols.
The Sacred Baroque concert in Mallorca is held in the parish of S'Horta and is performed by the Art Vocal Ensemble chamber ensemble and the sopranos Anaïs Oliveres and Nadia Akaarir.
