Música Ficta is a vocal and instrumental ensemble specialized in the rich and fascinating Latin- American and Spanish baroque repertoire. The ensemble, considered one of the most important early music groups in Latin-America, has performed in more than thirty countries on four continents. Música Ficta has appeared at major early music festivals and venues around the world, including the Kennedy Center for the Arts and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC, Sainte Chapelle and the Conciergerie in Paris, the Victoria Concert Hall in Singapore, the Stour Festival in England, Caja Madrid in Barcelona and Madrid, Semana de Música Antigua de Estella in Spain, Festival Cervantino in Mexico, Festival de Chiquitos in Bolivia, the Rundale Palace in Latvia, the Cemal Resit Rey hall in Turkey, and the Teatro Colón in Colombia. The ensemble has also performed at major Latin American churches where much of its core repertoire was composed. Some of these include the cathedrals of Mexico City, Cartagena and Bogota (Colombia), Quito (Ecuador), La Paz (Bolivia), as well as some of the most important baroque churches in Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia.
Throughout its career, Música Ficta has passionately endeavored the dissemination of this often unknown and colorfully diverse repertoire. Its innovative and creative programs based on careful musicological research, create persuasive performances that have been warmly praised by music critics, and enthusiastically received by the public. Its performances have been broadcast by Radio France International, Radio Nederland (The Netherlands), Russkoye Radio (Russia), Cologne Radio (Germany) and National Public Radio (USA). Through its CD recordings for Arion (France), Arts Music (Germany), Centaur (USA), and Milan-Jade (France), Musica Ficta has highlighted the quality and international appeal of Latin-American and Spanish baroque repertoire. These recordings have received excellent reviews from the Washington Post, Klassik Magazin, Goldberg, American Record Guide, Audiophile Audition, Le Monde de la Musique, and Allmusic, in which the quality of the music and the ensemble has been emphasized.
