Durham Singers cross the Atlantic for a summer concert of sacred and secular music based around composers associated with Puebla Cathedral, one of the most important religious and musical centres of 17th- and 18th-century New Spain. The Cathedral was home to a flourishing musical community, where European sacred style, secular Iberian rhythmic vitality and the sounds of the people already living in America blended in exciting new ways: alongside music in Latin and Spanish, the programme includes pieces in Nahuatl, spoken by the Aztec and, from further south, in Quechua, spoken by the people of the Inca.

If you want to find out more about this music, it just so happens that I once wrote an article for Bachtrack about it:

Tickets: £15 / students £10, online or from choir members
