Conciertos de la Villa de Santo Domingo is a series of musical concerts being held once again in the setting of the 16th Century Colonial City of Santo Domingo. This year includes performances by Chicago’s Axiom Brass Quintet that will set up residence for a week to play concerts in the palaces and gardens of the Colonial City, and educational concerts at the Iglesia del Convento de los Dominicos and the Centro Leon in Santiago. Axiom Brass will also hold master classes for members of the National Youth Orchestra and students of music in the Dominican Republic.
