Masses for Celebration

The Orchestra of New Spain
Grover Wilkins, Music Director
DSL-90903 Cover

The Orchestra of New Spain was founded in 1989 by conductor Grover Wilkins as a means of enhancing the place of the landmark Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe in the heart of the aborning Dallas Arts District. Plans for a concert series there led to his 1985 discovery of the neglected, staggeringly beautiful major musical works of the Spanish 17th and 18th centuries.

The opportunity to capitalize on this rediscovery came with the opening celebration of the Meyerson Symphony Center in October, 1989, for which its first concert was given. Seizing on the occasion of the Colombian Quincentenary, the Orchestra successfully realized its first four annual concerts, establishing itself as the premier exponent in the world of the lost music of the Spanish Baroque.
