More than a decade of research by Northwestern musicology professor Drew Edward Davies has brought to light these 18th-century New World treasures—composed and performed by Italian and Mexican musicians at the magnificent cathedral in Durango, one of Mexico’s most important musical centers. Featuring voices, baroque violins, guitar, theorbo, harpsichord, and cello, the program will include US premieres of many works by Ignacio Jerusalem, Santiago Billoni, Manuel de Sumaya, and others.
