A music director, recorder player and musicologist, Pedro Memelsdorff has long been a member of Jordi Savall’s Hesperion XXI and of a duo with Andreas Staier.

 

In 1987 he founded the ensemble Mala Punica, specialized in late medieval polyphony and, in 2021, Arlequin Philosophe, specialized in French-Caribbean music of the 18th century. He has been performing with them or as a guest conductor in most European countries, in the USA, central and south America, Israel and Japan.
