The cathedrals of Old Spain and New Spain required a great deal of high-quality music, and their chapelmasters were all too happy to oblige. Our annual concert of Latin American early music will feature works from Old World masters, including Morales and Victoria, as well as New World composers Padilla and Capillas, along with Mexico City Cathedral’s last four colonial chapelmasters: Sumaya, Jerúsalem, Tollis de la Rocca, and Juanas.

James Brown and Keith Womer perform music for viola da gamba and harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach and two of his sons. The music performed in this concert is something of a “swan song” for these instruments, which were waning in popularity at that time and would disappear altogether by 1800.
