Victoria Chorale presents a Spanish and Latin American musical fiesta!
Victoria Chorale
Art of Sound Ensemble
Conductor Mario Dobernig
Featuring the celebrated Misa Criolla, a thrilling and groundbreaking work that blends sacred texts with indigenous Andean rhythms and joyous harmonies that will stir your soul. Composed in the 1960’s by the celebrated Ariel Ramirez, it reflects a broader movement towards making the Catholic faith and Latin Mass more accessible and relevant.
We’ll transport you back to the golden age of Renaissance Spain with a selection of Tomás Luis de Victoria's sublime, multilayered vocal works and then inspire you with lively folk arrangements that capture the heart of 20th-century Latin American culture. You’ll be captivated by the haunting beauty of El Cant dels Ocells, the rhythmic intensity of Mata del Anima Sola, and the sensual, modern flair of Piazzolla's electrifying Libertango.
Conducted by our brilliant Mario Dobernig with the Art of Sound Ensemble and starring guest tenor, Ben Glover, this moving and exhilarating cultural celebration is an opportunity to experience the rich musical tapestry that connects Spain and Latin America across centuries. An evening not to be missed!
