Today was the kick-off for the 4th annual Baroque Music Festival in San Miguel.  The event brings 55 international musicians to town and there will be nine concerts during the week performed in plazas, churches, theaters and historic buildings, many of them free of charge.  This year the festival celebrates the Baroque music of  Mexico and New Spain in honor of the bicentennial of the Mexican Independence and the centennial of the Mexican Revolution.  Most of the music will be played on Baroque period instruments.

In the Jardin this evening there was a Baroque music and theatrical performance. The music was superb and I would imagine the comic actors were also good if only I understood Spanish.  (After two weeks of Spanish classes I could only understand a word here and there.)
