Biographical / Historical
Elizabeth Hvolboll and Luis Moreno are founders of El Coro del Real Presidio de Santa Barbara, a local choral group which
celebrates and performs music of the Californios. The group sings in Santa Barbara’s annual Una Noche de Las Posadas, a
holiday event which has been a long-time community tradition in Santa Barbara. Las Posadas (The Inns) commemorates
Mary and Joseph’s journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem and their nine-day search for shelter. Una Noche de Las Posadas, a
one-night version of the celebration, begins with traditional holiday songs performed in the candlelit Presidio Chapel by El
Coro del Real Presidio de Santa Bárbara. Guests are invited to join the choir in a procession led by children portraying an
angel, Joseph, and Mary as well as their small burro as they stroll and sing their way to State Street and into De la Guerra
Plaza, in search of lodging. The procession ends at Casa de la Guerra as Joseph and Mary finally find shelter and attendees
enjoy more singing, traditional refreshments and a piñata for children. This holiday tradition was brought to Santa Barbara
by its Spanish and Mexican settlers and is still observed throughout the American Southwest as a religious and social
celebration.
Elizabeth Hvolboll is a seventh-generation descendant of the Presidio founding families and an active member of the
community. She has done significant work in the preservation of early California music through extensive research and El
Coro performances.
Luis Moreno is a musician and former member of the original Teatro Campesino, where he developed an appreciation and
understanding of the wide varieties of Mexican music. He has nurtured a specific interest in early California music, and,
along with Elizabeth, has recorded a collection of songs from the Mission and Rancho periods of early California. Luis is a
long-time contributor to projects and programs at the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation and has performed in
and helped organize several performances of Una Pastorela at the Presidio Chapel. Luis’ work has played a pivotal role in
the preservation and celebration of Santa Barbara’s Spanish heritage.
