Marin Baroque: My Pleasure, My Passion

*Saturday, April 15, 7:30 pm

Explore magnificent vocal and instrumental music from North and South America when Marin Baroque presents My Pleasure, My Passion at San Anselmo’s First Presbyterian Church.

My Pleasure, My Passion will present music written in the Baroque era (ca. 1600-1750) by church composers of European descent living in Peru, Bolivia, Mexico and California. Despite the conditions of slavery under Spanish rule, some missionaries reached out to their African and Indigenous populations, blending those languages and characteristic rhythms with European melodies and structures. These multicultural mixings underpin traditional Latin American music to this day.

Music Director Daniel Canosa will conduct the Marin Baroque choir and soloists accompanied by performers on period instruments.
