The ensemble Siglos Pasados, directed by Maestro Enrique Flórez, is a group of musicians and researchers dedicated to the rescue and reinterpretation of music dating back, in some cases, up to 2,000 years.
For their performances, they use a large collection of instruments that replicate the sound of the originals.
Siglos Pasados has achieved success on stages in the United States and Europe, as well as in major cultural venues in Mexico, including the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City, the Juárez Theater in Guanajuato, and the Degollado Theater in Guadalajara.
Flórez studied guitar at the Music Conservatory of the University of Guadalajara and perfected his technique with virtuoso performers such as Andrés Segovia and Narciso Yepes. Later, he went through the National Conservatory, where he learned the technique of ancient tablatures and vihuela.
Thursday, October 12, the group performs at the Center for Culture and Arts in Ajijic (the former Ribera Auditorium), interreting medieval, Renaissance, and Sephardic compositions.
