Dani Espasa

Dani Espasa is a maestro known for his work with early music. He leads the ensemble Vespres d’Arnadí. Espasa is currently newsworthy for his recovery and premiere of Antonio Caldara's baroque oratorio, Il Cristo condannato, at the Peralada Festival's 4th Easter edition. This oratorio, previously unperformed in modern times, explores themes of justice and morality, particularly focusing on Pontius Pilate's internal conflict. The performance, featuring Vespres d’Arnadí and the Cor Francesc Valls, served as an allegorical and moral meditation. Espasa's work connects to the broader cultural context of Holy Week and the ongoing interest in baroque music, exemplified by its parallel to Rosalía's contemporary interpretation of religious themes in her 'Lux Tour'.
