NYC: ‘Singing Bodies’ by CoroDelantal NYC


CoroDelantal is a laboratory for choral experimentation that was created in New York City in 2011 by Spanish composer Sonia Megias. After one year of work, the project expanded to Spain (Madrid and Alicante), where it continues running.

We continue celebrating our 15th anniversary with our series of concerts in New York City. For this one, we’ll share stage with solo soprano Ally Christiansen.
