November 20 Anacronía in concert in Alhama de Murcia

Historical instruments feature in the music of the 18^th century during the ECOS ancient music festival

The ECOS ancient music festival, which has become a fixture in the late summer and autumn cultural calendar of Murcia in recent years and is now celebrating its 10th edition and is taking place this year between 30^th October and 21^st November, with 6 groups and artists performing at different venues in Alhama de Murcia, Aledo, Totana, Librilla, Pliego and Mula.

One of the later dates is on Friday 20^th November, when the parish church of San Lázaro Obispo in Alhama welcomes Anacronía, a group formed in 2020 by graduates from the music conservatories of The Lague, Lyon, Graz, Oporto, Cataluña and Murcia. In their “Metastasio y Mariana” concert they play historical instruments and search for what they refer to as “anachronisms” in music, representing moments of transition when different styles and musical idioms co-existed: on this occasion the focus is on the private musical soirees of the 18^th century.

The concert begins at 21.00 and tickets are available online here at 10 euros (5 euros for under-40s and residents of the municipality).
