Córdoba: from Mosque to Cathedral

Medieval music in Oslo’s oldest church

Under the festival theme “East of Western church music”, Eduardo Paniagua and Música Antigua present an exciting program connected with the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba and the building’s history, which encompasses both early church communities and Muslim and Catholic sanctuary. Centuries of different religious and architectural activity have made the building into a cultural melting pot, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Much of the music chosen for this concert, has previously been used for night tours in the Mosque-Cathedral. Eduardo Paniagua presents melodies and songs from the 8th until the 17th centuries: a musical selection illustrating several centuries of architecture and prayer.
