The Snowman & The Nutcracker
Two family favourites brought to life.
Singers, harp, guitar, bajón, strings, winds and percussion revel in this colourful music sung in Latin, Spanish, Nahuatl and Quechuan (the languages of the Aztecs and Incas) in an exploration of musical styles from Africa, the Americas and Europe.
The iconic Inca hymn Hanac pachap cussicuinin, the oldest printed polyphony in the Americas, punctuates a grand tour from Mexico to the Amazonian jungle, Brazil and Bolivia - where Juan de Araujo, probably the greatest composer of the age, worked for the last 30 years of his life.
The concert features the Ex Cathedra Choir & Baroque Ensemble plus Jeffrey Skidmore (conductor).
Programme includes:
Anon Hanac pachap cussicuinin
Araujo ¡Aquí Valentónes! - ¡Ay, andar! - Los coflades - Silencio
