CoroDelantal is a vocal experimentation group founded in New York City in 2011, replied in Madrid at the end of 2012, and currently based at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA) since fall 2021. Conceived and directed by composer Sonia Megías López as a laboratory for developing unusual scores, the chorus operates through collective performances that blur the boundaries between the arts.
The proposal for fall 2025 will consist of a three-month workshop with weekly meetings lasting two and a half hours each. The following collaborations are highlights of this quarter:
– With Madrid-based composer Marisa Manchado, winner of the 2024 National Music Composition Award, who will be our guest artist for the quarter.
– With New York composer John Gilbert, whose Christmas carols we will revisit in collaboration with the Banda Unión Musical de Santa Pola, adapting them to a small format to be performed at the MACA.
Brave singers,

Pauline Oliveros was a fabulous composer. Her charisma still resonates in the town of Kingston, north of New York, and dozens of followers attend events organized by IONE, her widow, or by the current Center for Deep Listening.
On November 6 and 7, the Sporting Club de Russafa will screen the documentary Deep Listening: The Story of Pauline Oliveros, directed by Daniel Weintraub. We will divide it into two sessions because, although it has Spanish subtitles, it lasts two hours and it is better to have a discussion and listening exercises after each half.
These meetings are coordinated by Lucía Peiró and moderated by Sonia Megías. With the support of American Space Valencia and the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
The meetings are free, but you must book your seat at the following link.
