El Mundo | Oct 27–⁠29

Directed by world-renowned guitarist and lutenist Richard Savino, El Mundo takes us on a treasure hunt through the archives of the Cathedral of Guatemala City, where classical 16th-century polyphony blended with secular indigenous dances to create a unique Hispanic style that still exists today. The archives contain numerous works by some of the most celebrated Latin American and Spanish composers of the 17th and 18th centuries, among them Juan Iribarren, Sebastián Durón, and Jose de Torres of Spain, as well as native-born Guatemalan composers Manuel José Quiroz and his nephew, Rafael Antonio Castellanos.
