Exclusive tasting concerts: musical and gastronomic delights, selected and introduced by the musicians in an intimate atmosphere.
Come closer to period instruments, the art of sound, bon goût and the music of the past, performed at the highest level for a very small audience, in an experience that is always unique and unrepeatable.
Enjoy an exquisite selection of gastronomic products in different forms of preservation, discovered during La Tempestad's tours or part of the ensemble's history.
Discover what lies behind each concert: the idea, the process, the sensations... but also stories, anecdotes and curiosities recounted by the musicians themselves after their travels.

El Conservatorio
We like wordplay. And this time it was easy for us.
We are musicians trained in conservatoires. Years of classrooms with instruments, blackboards with staves and corridors full of simultaneous sounds.
Sounds from the past, of course, which are conserved within those walls until we offer them to the public in our performances. Our everyday work includes many hours of practice and rehearsal, concerts in numerous halls and festivals, recordings… and travel, a great deal of travel.
But travelling a lot does not mean having time to visit the places we pass through: our working days are usually intensive and end at nightfall. Still, musicians eat too, and above all we unwind at dinner time.
In La Tempestad we share a common passion for discovering the gastronomy of different places. And, of course, after our tours we can only bring back drinks and foods that do not lose quality on the journey, that is, cured or packaged using various methods of preservation.
So our jar opens to offer you the finest selection of gastronomic and sonic preserves.
Anyone with cultural curiosity who is looking for a different kind of experience will enjoy the sessions at elconservatorio.es. You do not need to know about music or be an expert. If you are looking for an event for a particular group, do not hesitate to suggest it to us.
Our format is very versatile: it adapts easily and quickly to different spaces, with no geographical limits. You do not need an auditorium to enjoy the finest early music. You choose the venue; we take care of the technical requirements.
There is no art that has not been inspired by another, that has not fed back into it. If art implies a crossing of boundaries between different forms of knowledge, then enjoying music alongside a poet or chatting with a painter makes for doubly enriching experiences.

Early music is a very important part of our cultural heritage, of our past, of what has made us who we are. And everyone has the right to enjoy it. No, it is not elitist. Perhaps we need to take it out of the concert hall circuit and bring it closer to what it was originally: something everyday, which accompanied celebrations, more or less solemn occasions, leisure… You do not need to understand it in order to receive everything it conveys.
