10月19日
旧金山，加利福尼亚州 - 2019年9月24日 - 旧金山女子合唱团（SFGC）和艺术总监Valérie Sainte-Agathe将于10月19日（星期六）晚上7:30在旧金山圣马可路德教堂与Daring Sisters / Atrevidas Hermanas共同开启2019-2020年订阅季。在这个庆祝文化多样性和女性赋权的季节里，这个精心策划的节目将以17世纪拉丁美洲巴洛克音乐之夜向胡安娜-伊内斯-德-拉-克鲁斯修女致敬，她是美洲最早出版的女权主义者之一，也是妇女教育权利的捍卫者。一首由胡安娜-伊内斯-德-克鲁斯修女所创作的《Madre la de los primores》是唯一幸存下来的作品，将与墨西哥、玻利维亚和秘鲁的音乐作品同台演出。旧金山艺术中心将邀请到多位拉丁美洲和西班牙巴洛克音乐专家，包括女高音歌唱家Nell Snaidas、女高音歌唱家、旧金山艺术中心校友Jennifer Ellis Kampani和Richard Savino的格莱美奖提名的室内乐团El Mundo。
作为一名知识分子、学者、哲学家、诗人和作曲家，胡安娜-伊内斯-德拉克鲁斯修女因坚决主张妇女享有与男子平等的学习权和被承认的平等权利而成为墨西哥的国家偶像。作为一个多产的作家和诗人，德拉克鲁斯写了许多关于音乐的书籍。她最重要的论文《El Caracol》，除了《Madre la de los primores》之外，她几乎所有的音乐作品都已失传，其中包括在节目中的《Madre la de los primores》。突出的作品包括秘鲁-玻利维亚作曲家胡安-德-阿劳霍的《Por celebrar del Infante》和玻利维亚作曲家安德烈斯-弗洛雷斯的《A este edificio celebre》。为了表达索尔胡安娜对戏剧和神话的热爱，节目中还将演出西班牙-秘鲁作曲家托马斯-德-托雷洪-维拉斯科（Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco）的《La púrpura de la rosa》（1701年），这是美洲首部歌剧的序曲，也就是洛亚（Loa），这也是史上第一部在美洲演出的歌剧。
晚会还将展示17世纪拉丁美洲作曲家的作品，包括墨西哥作曲家Juan de Lienas的《Te lucis ante términum》，由Nell Snaidas为SFGC编曲。这首作品被收录在墨西哥城圣母圣体修道院的唱诗班书籍中，这首作品是对Sor Juana和她的姐妹们在有生之年可能在一起演唱的音乐的深入了解。其他作品包括胡安-加西亚-德-泽斯佩德斯的《Convidando está la noche》和拉斐尔-安东尼奥-卡斯特利亚诺斯的《Oygan una xacarilla》。额外的音乐取自秘鲁的《特鲁希略法典》；1780年代末，特鲁希略主教巴尔塔萨-海梅-马丁内斯-孔帕尼翁（Baltazar Jaime Martínez Compañón）向西班牙国王查理四世赠送的水彩画集。这组画作是主教在秘鲁特鲁希略历经32个月的旅程，描绘了特鲁希略多变的风景。伴随着这些图片，还有二十首乐曲，作为主教和他的旅伴们所听到的内容的转录。"作为一个强烈倡导女性探索自身知识价值的倡导者，Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz是这次合作的完美灵感来源。我可以想象她为瓦莱丽和旧金山女子合唱团的年轻女性在其非凡的历史中共同完成的一切欢呼，"内尔-斯奈达斯说。"通过17世纪拉丁美洲的音乐，展示Sor Juana的音乐、诗歌和激情，我们将为观众提供一个独特的机会，让他们回到过去，和我们一起游览这个时代的修道院、坎波和茶馆。"
被《纽约时报》赞誉为 "美丽的女高音歌唱家、热情的熔炼 "和 "迷人的嗓音 "的表演，美籍乌拉圭女高音Nell Snaidas已成为拉丁美洲和西班牙巴洛克音乐的顶尖专家之一，在欧洲、北美和拉丁美洲各地演出。除了与波士顿早期音乐节、阿波罗之火和主教乐队等早期音乐乐团合作演出外，内尔还因其音乐会被称为 "启示性的"（BBC音乐杂志）而备受瞩目。与她一起演出的还有室内乐团El Mundo和女高音歌唱家Jennifer Ellis Kampani，她曾是SFGC的校友。El Mundo由世界著名的吉他手Richard Savino带领和创作，演奏16-19世纪的意大利、西班牙和拉丁美洲的音乐。Snaidas和Ellis Kampani曾与El Mundo一起在广受好评的Sono Luminus唱片《The Kingdoms of Castille》中担任独奏，该唱片曾获得2011年格莱美奖最佳小型合奏表演奖提名。
