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.
