Sacred and Profane kicks off our 32nd season with both beautiful classical gems and lively folk music from Spain and Latin America. Our concert will span several centuries and countries, from Medieval Spain to 20th-century Argentina. We will sing ethereal Christmas motets of Victoria, Villa-Lobos, and Busto and rarely heard folk songs from Mexico, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The concert’s highlight is Ariel Ramírez’ Navidad Nuestra, featuring tenor Jimmy Kansau and the V-Note Ensemble.
