FIESTA CORAL MEXICANA
Celebrate the colorful and dynamic music of Mexico at this vibrant
concert! We’ll sing Baroque masterworks from Puebla Cathedral,
traditional folk music, luminous contemporary works, and popular
favorites like “La Bikina” and “Besame Mucho.” Artistic
Director Jonathan Miller undertook research in Mexico as part of a
cultural exchange project, and his discoveries include works by
contemporary composers Jorge Cózatl and Jorge Cordoba as well as
works stretching back to the 17th century. Audiences will also hear
three pieces commissioned for Chicago a cappella by Rodrigo Cadet,
Novelli Jurado, and Julio Morales as part of the ensemble’s
¡Cantaré! Chicago composer-in-residence program. Prepared by guest
music director Benjamin Rivera, this dazzling concert will shine a
light on a spectacularly varied and brilliant musical world.
