The church of Sant Bertomeu de Xàbia will host a unique musical proposal this Sunday evening when Il Dolce Incontro will be performing, a group formed by great musicians specialized in historical music and in the interpretation with instruments of 17th and 18th centuries.

Among its members are mezzo-soprano Francesca Sales as well as soprano Rafa Quirant as well as violinist Victor Yusà and Anna Pitarch on cello. In their performance in Xàbia, scheduled for 5 pm, they will offer the programme “Sacred Sounds” with works by Antonio Vivaldi, Antonio Caldara and Alessandro Scarlatti. The ticket will cost 5 euros and can be purchased at the entrance to the concert.

This recital will close a weekend full of music. On Saturday it will be the Centro Artístico Musical de Xàbia that will offer a charity concert by its Youth Band and Orchestra. Kicking off at 9 pm in the church of Sant Bertomeu, admission has been set at 2 euros and the proceeds will go entirely to those affected by the war in Ukraine.
