Meridionalis at Raritan River Music Festival

Meridionalis, Americas Society’s critically acclaimed vocal ensemble, has been performing early and contemporary music for a decade. This past spring, they were invited to return to the Raritan River Music Festival with a program of music from the remarkable collection of the Hispanic Society, where they have performed several times. The festival moved online, so the program revisits the group’s latest performance of material from the Hispanic Society’s repository, which took place in December 2019. There are motets and a Palestrina Mass, guitar music, and realizations of musical “enigmas” included in Pietro Cerone’s “El melopeo y maestro”—a classic theory book published in 1613, performed by Momenta Quartet. Zubieta, the conductor of Meridionalis, illustrates the program and the music while answering audience questions during the concert.
