Join the Newberry Consort for a program of sacred and secular music from Mexico to Peru, Spain, Guatemala, and the indigenous cultures of the Americas! The framework of the program is a funny and entertaining nativity égloga—a very short rustic Christmas drama written in the 15th century— interspersed with spirited dances, sonorous motets, and festive villancicos spanning from the 15th through 18th centuries. The program will feature traditional percussion and plucked instruments from the Iberian Peninsula and the New World, as well as a consort of wind instrumentalists and a vocal ensemble. Pre-concert panel discussions will take place 1 hour before each scheduled performance.
