We were lucky enough to meet Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI at York University last night as part of the NCEM Early Music Festival. It was a dream come true. They did three well deserved encores and were so friendly and welcoming. Jordi showed us his 16 and 17th century viola da gamba, and Dexter tried out the marimbula.
