Concerto 1700

Daniel Pinteño, Fumiko Morie [violins], Isabel Juárez [viola], Ester Domingo [cello], Pablo Zapico [theorbo], Alfonso Sebastian [harpsichord]

Founded in 2015 by violinist Daniel Pinteño, Concerto 1700 has since its inception aspired to the recovery and dissemination of the Hispanic musical heritage of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. To carry out its artistic project, they use original period instruments, as well as a rigorous musicological study of the performance practice of the period that allow them to achieve the genuine sound of the baroque times. It has managed to position itself as one of the most important ensembles on the Spanish historicist scene.

Concerto 1700 is a group of variable formation, ranging from trio to baroque orchestra. This versatility allows them to cover any baroque repertoire without losing any of its specific personality, based on a meticulous work on ensemble sound and stylistic appropriateness. However, the interest of their interpretations does not lie in the mere recreation of the past, but in their desire to generate an experience that is stimulating for today’s audiences.
