La Folía presents in Paris 'Música instrumental del tiempo de Velázquez'

The Spanish early music group La Folía is performing at the Paris launch of L’affrontement de la peinture, a monograph on Velázquez written by Guillaume Kient and published by Cohen & Cohen. The book includes the group’s CD Musica instrumental del tiempo de Velázquez. Guillaume Kientz, the book’s author, is curator of Spanish painting at the Musée du Louvre in Paris and curator of the exhibition on Velázquez at the Grand Palais. The monograph on Velázquez is being brought out in France on the occasion of this major exhibition. 

The concert is due to be held at 7pm on 7 July at the Embassy of Spain in Paris and the programme includes works by Correa de Arauxo, Botelero, Frescobaldi, Castello, Selma y Salaverde, Van Eyck, Froberger and Falconiero.

The baroque music group La Folía was founded in Madrid in 1977 to perform a sixteenth-, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century repertoire on historical instruments. Its name is derived from the folia, a popular form of music with variations that marked an important contribution of Iberian music to the baroque repertoire.

With a variable number of performers depending on the chosen repertoire, La Folía is intensively involved in recovering and disseminating baroque music, often working on monographic themes and performing within and outside Spain at important concert halls and festivals.
