Cantoria

A La Fiesta

A La Fiesta
The joy and optimism of popular cultures blends with the mysticism and devotion of the music of the Spanish Baroque. Acclaimed vocal quartet Cantoria return to York with an enlarged ensemble to bring us the fascinating 17th century works, descendants of the ensaladas and Renaissance that first brought the group to attention. They offer a concert full of colour, syncopation, humour and biblical stories through these extraordinary pieces, which were used by bishops to draw the faithful to Mass and ensure they left the churches with a smile.
