Led by renowned violinist and fiddler Brandi Berry Benson the band/ensemble traces the history of the fiddle and the violin through centuries in music and tunes. From the origins of the instrument in the 16th century, fiddle and violin have had an inspired relationship with each other that only later split into defined genres of so-called art music and folk tunes.
​
A special welcome and shout-out to the young musicians in our community! Elements of this program are part of a couple of in-school workshops at MNPS schools, also led by Brandi Berry Benson.

This program traces and reflects upon a variety of experiences of music making in Latin America during the Spanish Colonial period (1500-1800). The music performed will include pieces from the Bolivian Missions (Anonymous), popular (at the time) and imported pieces from Europe (Zipoli, de Murcia), as well as vocal music and villancicos from Latin American composers (Pérez de Bocanegra, Céspedes, Fernandes, Sumaya). Our aim is to show how musicians made a life working in the complex contexts of displacement and confinement within colonial society.
