Ex Cathedra: Latin American Baroque – Ritual, 1631
Thursday 20 March 2025
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Jeffrey Skidmore and Ex Cathedra have pioneered the rediscovery of the vibrant sounds of South American Baroque music – a fusion of music from Europe, Africa and South America. The iconic Inca liturgy ‘Hanac pachap cussicuinin’ – the oldest printed polyphony in the Americas – punctuates a grand tour that takes us from Mexico to the Amazonian jungle, and the lavish churches of Brazil to Bolivia. Join the singers, harp, lute, violins, cornetts and sackbuts, and revel in this colourful music.
“a heady mix of gloriously rich polyphony and manic, earthy villancicos. Skidmore has mined a rich vein of hitherto undiscovered music … exhilaratingly uninhibited” (BBC Music Magazine)
