The Newberry Consort Presents: A Mexican Christmas at Newberry Library

Join us this holiday season for the video premiere of The Newberry Consorts 2019 concert, A Mexican Christmas, a celebration of the exuberant and diverse musical traditions of Mexico. Over thirty singers and instrumentalists from the all-women Convent Ensemble directed by Ellen Hargis, and EnsAmble Ad-Hoc, a group specializing in early Latin American and Spanish music led by Francy Acosta and Jos Luis Posada, will recreate the music that would have been heard in the plazas of Mexico City during the 17th century.
