Avila: Musicians & Mystics of 16th Century Spain

Music from Spain's Golden Age (for vihuela and voice) and poetry from the Spanish mystics John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila.

Amy and Dominic were a hit in 2010. Amy has a clear and expressive voice that fills the hall. Dominic plays instruments in the lute family. For this concert he will be playing the vihuela, a beautiful guitar-like lute that was favored in the Spanish court in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Since 1963, the La Jolla Renaissance Singers have been bringing the finest of early choral music to the San Diego area. Based in La Jolla, California, the elite choir draws members from across the county.

The 25-member group performs vocal music written from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, with occasional forays into the Romantic and Modern periods. In period costume, the group performs in concert halls, museums, and churches, as well as in libraries, parks, and for private parties.

The vocal ensemble Pacific Camerata returns to the Museum with a colorful program of Renaissance motets and songs from England, Germany and Spain.
