Welcome
Ensemble Ibérica creates music and programming that enlightens, heals, and connects audiences and artists globally.
2026 Concert Series
Ensemble Ibérica’s 2026 Concert Series unfolds as its most expansive season to date, weaving bold collaborations with global musical traditions. From the soulful cry of Galician gaita with Adam Phillips and the lyrical convergence of classical, jazz, and Latin American influences with Carolina Calvache, to the powerful, border-spanning sound of Mireya Ramos, each program invites deep listening and discovery. The season also journeys through the rhythmic intensity of Algerian chaâbi with Khaled Abdelli, the haunting lyricism of Romanian doina with Ana Everling, the refined elegance of the Portuguese guitar through the legacy of master Carlos Paredes, and the sweeping passion of contemporary tango by Adam Tulley—together creating a year defined by connection, culture, and creative exchange.

“The Moldovan Mutation” – the music DNA of a land, from ancestral ritual to soviet censorship to now.
In the “Moldavian Corridor,” a geographical wedge trapped between the Latin West and the Eurasian Steppe, music was never just art; it was a sonic blueprint of resistance. Drawing from authentic field recordings collected from Moldovan villages, vocalist and visual artist Ana Everling tracks the forensic evolution of a sound that refused to be erased. Through raw audio samples and archival imagery, this presentation deconstructs the journey of a forest-born culture as it collided with the nomadic “highway,” endured the industrial grinding of Soviet censorship, and weathered the identity crises of the modern era. We move from the primitive vibration of a fish scale to the complex, asymmetrical rhythms of a resilient identity.
