The repertoire features music selected from manuscripts and field research dating back to 15th- and 16th-century Iberia, 17th-century Spain, Peru, Mexico, and Chile, as well as works by anonymous composers from Sephardic communities around the world.The earliest known music for the Renaissance guitar was written by the Spanish composer Alonso de Mudarra in 1553. While the lute was more popular in most parts of Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, the vihuela—a guitar-like instrument with six double strings—became a staple in Spanish chamber and solo compositions. Composers such as Miguel de Fuenllana, Luis de Milán, and Santiago de Murcia shaped the repertoire that perpetuated the prominence of the guitar in Spanish culture to this day.Entry & Seating PolicyTo ensure a smooth experience for everyone, please note our entry guidelines:Members & Donors (Priority Entry): Instituto Cervantes New York members and those who secured their spot via donation are guaranteed priority entry.Free Ticket Holders: We highly recommend arriving early!
