Mecenazgo musical e identidad aristocrática en el México Ilustrado: Miguel de Berrio y Zaldívar, Conde de San Mateo de Valparaíso (1716–1779)

Abstract

This article contributes new information and some preliminary hypotheses on the musical patronage of the nobility of New Spain in the mid-eighteenth century, using as case study the creole Miguel de Berrio y Zaldívar, Count of San Mateo of Valparaíso and Marquess of Jaral. Berrio became famous for the musical soirees at his palace in Mexico City, taking part himself as violinist; additionally, he gathered among the most impressive collections of scores and musical instruments on the continent. This work concludes that Berrio’s musical interest not only was a form of entertainment and self-promotion but also part of his aristocratic identity as nobleman.
