At Geneva’s Victoria Hall, conductor Leonardo García-Alarcón invites us on a journey between the profane and the sacred, to discover the baroque music of the New World, with Cappella Mediterranea, Ensemble Clematis and the Chœur de Chambre de Namur.

Some were born in the New World, like Gaspar Fernandes, whose entire career was spent in his native Mexico.
