Bachanalia: Mexico and music of Manuel de Sumaya, the Bach of the Americas

September 19, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EDT

$30 – $35

While Sumaya and Bach worked in very different environments – the former at the largest Catholic cathedral on the American continent amid a bustling, multicultural colonial city, and the latter in a Lutheran church that was more of a regional center – I would argue that we can think of them together as “church musicians” rather than “composers”. Both musicians were organists, choir directors, teachers, and administrators in addition to their achievements as composers. Join Drew Edward Davies, Associate Professor, Musicology at Northwestern University and Bach Society of Charleston Artistic Director Ricard Bordas for an evening of wonderful music and discovery.
