Orígenes is a virtual, bilingual program that introduces students from 1st to 5th grade to early vocal literature and period instruments with an emphasis on Spanish and Latin American cultures. This program, curated by mezzo-soprano Cecilia Duarte and percussionist Jesús Pacheco, features impassioned vocal works accompanied by historical percussion and guitars. While examining the different roles in a classical music ensemble, Orígenes connects students to the musical heritage of Spain and Latin America.
