Sarasa Ensemble: music from Bolivian Mission Baroque
A sunny program of secular and sacred Baroque music from the Missions of Bolivia with an undeniable impulse from the folk element of its indigenous people.
With Carley DeFranco, soprano; Jesse Irons, Rebecca Nelson, violins; Jennifer Morsches, cello; William Simms, Baroque guitar/theorbo; John McKean, organ.
Cambridge & Lexington performances will also include a fascinating talk from anthropologist Dr. Bret Gustafson, whose research explores indigenous language revitalization and education in Bolivia, having worked extensively with the Assembly of Guarani People.
