CANTARE takes a musical journey to our southern neighbors, presenting concerts featuring some of the choral music of Latin America. For centuries, gifted composers have provided choral works for churches, schools and communities in Spanish-speaking nations and communities. As you would expect, many of these works are great treasures of the repertoire! Ramirez: Misa Criolla (with guitar and percussion); Guastavinos: Indianas; Franco: Magnificat
