(“New World Baroque”)

Latin flair meets Baroque majesty on Cinco de Mayo! Over the past three decades researches have uncovered a treasure trove of music in the Cathedral cities and missions of Mexico and South America. Both Jesuit missionaries from the old world Europe as well as native composers produced radiant music for liturgical services and civic occasions. A chance to hear some great 17th and 18th century music of the “Other Americas”.

Works by:
Manuel de Sumaya (Mexico) • Francisco López Capillas (Mexico) • Esteban Salas (Cuba) Juan de Araujo (Peru/Bolivia) • Tomas de Torrejon (Peru) • Domenico Zipoli (Paraguay/Bolivia) Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla (Mexico) • Juan Garcia de Zespedes (Mexico) • Rafael Castellanos (Guatemala) • Roque Jacinto de Cavarria (Brazil) and others

“impressive concert . . . Abraham, serves up programs with enticing themes, and Saturday’s performance was no exception.”
