The 4th International Baroque Music Festival in San Miguel de Allende will celebrate Mexico’s independence from Spain and its Revolution, with an unprecedented presentation of 400 years of music (1521-1931) and culture in New Spain.

Echoes of a Nation brings together Mexico’s proud history of music, art, and gastronomy in an exciting week of concerts and events representing the integration of indigenous and European cultures, the valiant liberation from the Spanish monarchy, and the ever present power of the Roman Catholic Church.

Over 55 international musicians, playing on baroque period instruments perform in nine masterful concerts from March 1st to 6th. This year’s Festival will be the first to examine all the elements of the Baroque musical style while demonstrating how, as European power spread to the Americas, Mexico emerged with its own distinct flare in both the sacred and the secular musical arenas.
