About Arakaendar
With the largest collection of Baroque manuscripts in the world, Father Piotr Nawrot began the International Festival of Renaissance and Baroque Music (IFRBM) in Bolivia. It was during this festival that Nawrot and Ashley Solomon, artistic director of Florilegium (UK), began their collaboration.
In 2005, Solomon auditioned Bolivian singers to work on Baroque choral pieces with Florilegium, and it was there that the Arakaendar Bolivia Choir and Orchestra was formed, making its debut at the 6th IFRBM in 2006. The ensemble of indigenous Bolivians performs their repertoire in Latin and their seven native dialects, and has toured widely throughout Bolivia, the UK, and Europe. The ensemble was featured on 60 Minutes and has recorded several highly acclaimed CDs with Florilegium.
This concert is part of GEMAS, a project of Americas Society and Gotham Early Music Scene devoted to early music of the Americas with Nell Snaidas and Sebastián Zubieta as co-artistic directors.
