Event
El Mundo The Kingdoms of Castille
Travel across Europe and even to the New World as we follow the spread of the music of Spain with the early music ensemble El Mundo, directed by world renowned guitarist Richard Savino. An adventure of sound awaits as the Castilian influence reaches throughout its neighboring countries and across the Atlantic, bringing with it a musical zest that helped mold music as we know it.
From its position of political prominence 17th-century Spain spread its might, as well as rich cultural heritage, to various colonial outposts throughout the globe. Musicians migrated to distant colonial centers to serve Catholic missions and cathedrals, as well as the courts of the Spanish Vice Royalty. In the process the Spanish musical vernacular was disseminated to, and often absorbed by, these local cultures. This program presents a selection of works demonstrating the rich musical repertoire and close cultural connections between Spain, Latin America, and Italy.
