BONUS CONCERT
Moon, Sun & All Things
Latin American Vespers
Ex Cathedra
Sinfonia New York
Jeffrey Skidmore, Conductor
"Some of the most alive, infectious and uplifting Baroque polyphony I've ever heard." - Classic FM Magazine
This stunning concert reveals hidden treasures from the Latin American Baroque, with colorful music from the jungles and cathedrals of 17th- and 18th-century Bolivia, Mexico and Peru, sung in Spanish, Latin and the languages of the Aztecs and Incas. Ex Cathedra makes its US debut alongside Sinfonia New York in a concert you must not miss!
From its home in Birmingham, UK, Ex Cathedra is building an international reputation for seeking out the best, the unfamiliar and the unexpected in the choral repertoire, for its thorough research and its dynamic performances. Its programs of Baroque music from Latin America have enjoyed tremendous critical and public acclaim, and have generated three best-selling CDs on the Hyperion label.
Ex Cathedra's US tour is supported by its home city, Birmingham, a dynamic and diverse cultural centre where creativity, innovation and excellence flourish.

"There is no doubt that musically Skidmore had come up with one of the best balanced and thought-out programmes...In a sequence intended to roughly follow the Vespers service, the programme demonstrated something of the scope of the South American sacred tradition." - The Guardian
"It was as if I had attended an evening service in a Latin American cathedral - not understanding the words being sung, but realising and appreciating that it was immensely devotional." - Edinburgh Guide
"...an atmospheric and colourful programme which interspersed haunting stillness with pulsating rhythms...appropriately sung and played by soloists and ensemble with all the energy of a fiesta at carnival time." - The Scotsman
"The imaginative programme of baroque music from Mexico and Bolivia was by turns extrovert and meditative, always fresh and tuneful and presented with theatrical flair by Ex Cathedra's music director Jeffrey Skidmore." - Birmingham Post
