Jordi Savall: Routes Of Slavery

In a monumental project spanning centuries and featuring musicians from Africa, Europe, and the Americas, early music expert Jordi Savall leads a singular experience of music, dance, and spoken word tracing the story of the African diaspora in the Old and New Worlds.

Savall and his collaborators explore the music through which enslaved peoples forged a sense of community, preserved their own humanity, and found a way to endure in the face of unspeakable bondage. In this special presentation, the artists honor their journeys through the incredible musical legacy they left behind.

Presented by the Seattle Symphony and Early Music Seattle.
