Emericus Ensemble: Tonos y canciones

• Elise Figa, soprano
• Carlos Cuestas, Baroque & 19th-century guitars

"Tonos y canciones" showcases the enduring tradition of vocal music with guitar accompaniment in Spain. Focused on works by José Marin (ca. 1619–1699) and Fernando Sor (ca. 1778–1839), this program represents the composers' interplay between local traditions and the nascent universality of Western music in the Baroque and early Romantic eras.
