About:

TERCIA REALIDAD

Inspired by the 16th Century Cervantian term “Tercia Naturaleza” which gives the name to a third reality where fantasy and the real world meet each other and fuse. Tercia Realidad is a utopia created by Jorge Jimenez in which music goes back to its origins as a language to express emotions and feelings as well as a fusion of personalities, ideas and sounds.

Tercia Realidad does not only perform but creates on the go, which makes the performance a unique experience for the audience and the musician. Embracing a repertoire that ranges from the 13th Century to contemporary music, TR has performed in festivals and concert series such as: Early Music Festival in Stary Sacz (Poland), Fabulous Fringe at the Utrecht Early Music Festival, Baroque Days Akbank Sanat in Istanbul (Turkey), Noches en los Jardines del Alcázar in Seville (spain), Colegio de los Ingleses de Valladolid (Spain), Bachfest Cochabamba (Bolivia), music season at The Bogazici University in Istanbul (Turkey), Festival de Musica Sacra de Sagunt (Spain), temporada de música de cámara del Convento de Santa Clara in Sevilla (Spain), amongst others.
