Celebrating Latin infl uence
For some star musicians, success means crossing over into stadium concerts. For Jordi Savall, the magical soloist who returned the viola da gamba and its early-music repertory to the contemporary concert stage, “crossover” means projects that are thoughtful explorations of music, history and culture. His latest CD, “The New World,” made with the Mexican group Tembembe Ensamble Continuo, shows what happened to European musical traditions when they cross- pollinated with local infl uences in Latin America. // 8 p.m. Monday. Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater, 2700 F St. NW. 202-467-4600.
