Tom McKinney presents a concert of music by Jordi Savall and Orpheus XXI.

Tom McKinney presents a concert given by Jordi Savall and Orpheus XXI – music for life and dignity – at the Poblet Early Music Festival.

In celebration of Unesco's World Day for Cultural Diversity, Dialogue and Development, Tom McKinney presents a concert of music by Jordi Savall and Orpheus XXI in a concert given at the Poblet Early Music Festival: Music for life and dignity.

Jordi Savall, the great Catalan viol player, conductor, musical archaeologist and EU ambassador for inter-cultural dialogue, is committed to the idea of a world in which different cultures and religions live peacefully with one another. He believes that this vision can be brought about by music. 

Under Savall's artistic direction, “ORPHEUS XXI – Music for life and dignity” is a musical and educational action plan, designed as a replicable learning platform, for the integration of young refugees having musical knowledge or talent. Together with some of Jordi Savall's collaborators, participants on this project will perform the intercultural repertoire resulting of their work.
