Ars Lyrica Houston: 'Crossing Borders'

The San Diego Early Music Society is pleased to present the Grammy-nominated American ensemble Ars Lyrica Houston in its San Diego debut. Featuring soprano Camille Ortiz and mezzo-Soprano Cecilia Duarte, Ars Lyrica Houston will explore in its program "Crossing Borders" a crucial moment in the musical history of the New World: when European musical traditions began to mingle with indigenous musical practices. This festive program includes villancicos and romances for voices and ensemble plus instrumental works drawn from the rich repertoire of 17th- and 18th-century colonial and Latin American cultures. Musical selections by Juan del Encina, Joseph Pérez, José Durán, Sebastián Durón, Antonio de Salazar, Juan de Aruajo, Manuel Joseph Quiroz, and others illustrate the multiple and creative ways music traverses cultural and national borders.
