Christa Patton ~ Baroque harp
Hideki Yamaya ~ Baroque guitar

Baroque harpist, Christa Patton and soprano, Camila Parias are joined by guitarist and theorbist Hideki Yamaya to perform music of 17th century Spain by master composers, Juan Hidalgo, Juan de Návas, José Marín and Cristóbal Galán. Colorful Spanish dances and songs of nature, birds, the sea, wind, and the forest depict the pleasures and treacheries of love.

Christa Patton, Baroque harpist and multi-instrumentalist, specialist in early 17th century music of Italy and Spain, a mainstay of the Early Music scene in the United States and abroad, is joined by Colombian native, soprano Camila Parias. A jewel of the Boston early music scene, having been described for having an "intimately crystalline, shiver-inducing solo performance," Camila performs the treasures of the Spanish 17th century in her native language.
