Voces del Sur: A Celebration of Latin American Choral Music

  • First Plymouth UCC 3501 South Colorado Boulevard Cherry Hills Village, CO, 80113 United States (map)

Celebrate the rich and diverse choral traditions of Spanish-speaking Latin America, featuring works that span from colonial times to the present day. The musical landscape of Latin America represents a unique fusion of European, African, and indigenous influences, creating distinctive styles that reflect the region's complex cultural heritage.

This program illustrates how Latin American composers have created a unique choral repertoire by synthesizing diverse cultural influences. From colonial sacred music to contemporary works, these pieces demonstrate the ongoing dialogue between European musical forms, indigenous traditions, and African rhythmic patterns. The result is a vibrant body of choral music that continues to evolve while maintaining deep connections to its cultural roots.

Through these works, we experience the extraordinary diversity of Latin American choral music - its sacred and secular traditions, its folklore and innovation, its preservation of historical forms and creation of new ones. Each piece offers a window into the rich musical heritage of Spanish-speaking Latin America and the Caribbean, celebrating the voices and stories of these dynamic cultural regions.

*Special guests, Vocalis Camerata from Guatemala.
