The fourth International Organ and early Music Festival, Oaxaca, México
NOVEMBER 19-22, 2004 and MARCH 11-13, 2005
For the fourth consecutive year, the Instituto de Órganos Históricos de Oaxaca is presenting an organ and early music festival in order to give local, national, and international enthusiasts a chance to hear concerts of XVI-XVIII century music on six of the seven restored Oaxacan organs. This year the organ in Sta. María Tamazulapam will be included for the first time, to be added to those in Tlacochahuaya, San Andrés Zautla, the Basílica of the Soledad, Yanhuitlán and the Oaxaca Cathedral. Also for the first time, the Festival will be divided into two parts, because there are simply too many organs, most of them geographically dispersed, to hear in the course of one extended weekend. Besides the scheduled concerts, this year´s program will include: during the first part, an all-day field trip to the Mixteca Alta, a sumptuous meal in Zautla and a guided tour to Monte Albán ; and during the second part, master classes with the renowned organist Luigi Fernando Tagliavini . You may read a description of last year's Festival here. We look forward to having you join us in November for another extraordinary musical adventure!
