It tells you something about the low international profile of Spanish music that the pieces we most associate with the country... Bizet’s Carmen and Ravel’s Bolero... were composed by Frenchmen. Grover Wilkins and his Dallas-based Orchestra of New Spain are working to change that situation. - Scott Cantrell, Dallas Morning News

Works recently recovered and transcribed by Northwestern University scholar Drew Edward Davies. Drew has organized a nationwide—Mexico—project not only to catalogue but as well to place on the internet the collections of a number of major Mexican cathedral holdings. Join us 20 minutes before concert time to hear Drew explain his work and this music.

The concert will feature a Vespers set by Santiago Billoni found in the Durango, Mexico Cathedral. Interspered among the Vespers psalms will be contrasting works from other Mexican and Spanish archives.

Join us before the concert to be among the first in Dallas to see Royal Splendor, the world's first major exhibition to showcase the exceptional art collection of King Charles IV of Spain (1748-1819).

We look forward to seeing you in this very popular venue for yet another fine concert.
