Schola Cantorum de Venezuela performed Jesus Ochoa's Festejo de Navidad as an encore.
María Guinand’s Caracas choir combines passion and robust skill in a wide range of choral music not often heard in New York. Here they perform a syncretistic program of spiritual music from Spanish-language cultures throughout history, ranging from Renaissance Spanish motets to the villancicos and cantigas that crossed the Atlantic with the conquistadors in the 1500s, to contemporary South American works.
“A deeply moving account...slippery harmonic shifts created an air of instability, while whispered lines conjured gusty winds.”
—The New York Times
