The courtyard of the Castillo de Bellver hosts this concert thanks to two great musicians: Jordi Savall, viola bow and rebel, and Dimitri Psonis with Arabic oud, santur, saz and percussion. The program is dedicated to the work of Dimitrie Cantemir Istambul (1673-1723) which Jordi Savall has recorded on an album.
This Catalan artist (Barcelona, 1941) - plays the viola da gamba, and is also conductor and musicologist specialized in early music - has recorded over 120 albums since 1968 as soloist, accompanied by other artists, as a member of other groups and directing formations founded by him.

Meanwhile, Dimitri Psonis (Athens, 1961) is a musician percussionist specializing in the study of ancient Mediterranean instruments. He is considered one of the best santuristas in the world today and collaborates with the Catalan musician.
