Guillermo Pérez

In the intimate setting of the Protestant Chapel, we have an opportunity to hear Guillermo Pérez, master of the organetto, a small portable organ that was particularly popular in the 14th and 15th centuries. The musician's right hand operates the keys, the left the bellows. The sound of the organetto is gentle and melancholy. The instrument was primarily used for religious events such as processions, but was also played on festive occasions, for example to accompany dancing.
