harmonia nova #3

This ensemble takes its name from the Chapel of the Monastery of Santa Cruz de Coimbra in Portugal, from where the unpublished musical manuscripts on which the heart of the work is elaborated contribute to the sound research into the origins of Portuguese Baroque music.

This project aims to establish bridges between theoretical musicological research and the search for a sound that revives and justifies the value of these treasures from one of the main Portuguese cultural centres during the 16th and 17th centuries: The Monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra.
