MARIN BAROQUE: My Pleasure, My Passion
April 15 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$15 – $30
Giving historically informed performances since 2012, Marin Baroque has raised the bar for Baroque-era chamber concerts and staged operas.
SAN ANSELMO, CA — Explore magnificent vocal and instrumental music from North and South America when Marin Baroque presents My Pleasure, My Passion on Saturday, April 15, at 7:30 p.m. in San Anselmo’s First Presbyterian Church.
My Pleasure, My Passion will include music written in the Baroque era (ca. 1600-1750) by church composers of European descent living in Peru, Bolivia, Mexico and California. Despite the conditions of slavery under Spanish rule, some missionaries reached out to their African and Indigenous populations, blending those languages and characteristic rhythms with European melodies and structures. These multicultural mixings underpin traditional Latin American music to this day.
Music Director Daniel Canosa will conduct the Marin Baroque choir and soloists accompanied by performers on period instruments. Soloists will include Helene Zindarsian and Katelan Bowden (soprano), Jessica Winn (alto), Dan Cromeenes (countertenor), Corey Head (tenor), Jefferson Packer (baritone) and John Kendall Bailey (bass).
My Pleasure, My Passion is a continuation of a project on Baroque music in the Americas that Canosa began in 2022.
Tickets are $15-30, available in advance on Eventbrite and at the door starting at 7:00 PM. Current Marin County COVID-19 protocols will be in effect.
