ECHO Rising Stars – Baroque Soprano

Soprano Elionor Martínez is from Barcelona and has, over the years, frequently collaborated with the renowned Jordi Savall. She is now based in Basel and has been nominated by Palau de la Música Catalana, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden and L’Auditori in Barcelona.

Here, she performs with lutenist Josep María Martí Duran, who has also worked with Jordi Savall, as well as with ensembles such as L’Arpeggiata and Christina Pluhar. The concert also forms part of the Baroque series, with early music at its core – from Italian passion and early female voices in Strozzi and Caccini, via English melancholy in Purcell, to Spanish drama and Handel’s melodic immediacy.

ECHO Rising Stars is a unique and forward-looking collaboration between 23 of Europe’s leading concert halls within ECHO – the European Concert Hall Organisation. Each year, a select group of young artists and ensembles from different countries is chosen and given the opportunity to tour the concert halls and meet an international audience. Experience shows that those selected as Rising Stars go on to enjoy successful international careers.
