Join us this New Year’s Day for another enlightening Old Music for the New Year. This concert will offer a vibrant journey through seasonal sounds of the Spanish Baroque with its flourishing offshoots in the cathedrals and courts of the New World. This program reveals the rhythmic vitality, poetic immediacy, and expressive color that defined Iberian and Latin American music from the late 17th to the early 18th centuries. Start your new year by discovering a world where dance, drama, and devotion coexist – music that is both deeply rooted in tradition as well as vibrantly alive:
