SEMPER ARDET: Music from Latin America 

  • All Saints' Cathedral 818 East Juneau Avenue Milwaukee, WI, 53202 United States (map)

Our first concert will explore sacred music from the Spanish colonial period, particularly from Latin America, with a strong emphasis on polyphony and choral works rooted in Catholic liturgical traditions. 

The program tells a story of the religious and cultural synthesis of colonial Latin America, where European sacred music traditions were merged with local artistic expressions. The overarching theme of spirituality, identity, and cultural exchange, highlights how the divine (through pneuma, or spirit) was interpreted through music during this period by influential European composers like Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla and Alonso Lobo alongside the indigenous voice of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Our musical selections showcase the vitality of Latin Americans in shaping life and cultural identity in the Spanish New World. 

Please join us for the following dates and times:

October 4th | 7:00 p.m. at Ripon College 

October 12th | 7:00 p.m. at All Saints' Cathedral

October 13th | 2:00 p.m. at All Saints' Cathedral
