It's a Christmas concert, with a twist!
Mexico in the 17th century was a time of great cultural and musical diversity — which produced music infused with festive indigenous rhythms and dances. Experience a holiday event unlike any other — with music from the cathedrals of Puebla and Mexico City.
This concert is made possible in part by the Houston Endowment and the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.
