Servir Antico is an ensemble inspired by the legacy of Renaissance Humanism (an intellectual/cultural movement from the 13th to 16th century). The group was founded by Catalina Vicens, a musician and researcher specializing in Medieval and Renaissance repertoires who unites the power of acclaimed vocal and instrumental soloists (possessing extensive experience in historically-informed performance) with the desire to create an environment of respect and communication.
Servir Antico’s programs are designed to not only bring an almost forgotten repertoire to contemporary audiences, but to also immerse that audience in a multi-sensorial experience. Poetry, dramaturgy, and musical text transport the listener back to an era of dazzling creation, introspection and beauty. With the music and texts as a point of departure, projects of social engagement are an intrinsic part of each program.
