Al Ayre Espanol

Spanish Baroque Ensemble

Al Ayre Español is a renowned early music ensemble specializing in the performance of Baroque music, particularly that of Spanish origin. Founded in 1988 by harpsichordist and conductor Eduardo López Banzo, the group was created with the intention of countering the widespread belief that Italian and German composers were the only significant contributors to the music of the Baroque era. Al Ayre Español has since established itself as a leading force in the interpretation of Spanish Baroque music, gaining international acclaim for its vibrant performances and scholarly approach to historical repertoire.
