NYC: ‘Da’ by Dúa da Pel @ WindScape

Dúa da Pel 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.

ALICANTE: “Cantos pasados y presentes” by CoroDelantal MACA

 

CoroDelantal MACA presents a new show: Cantos pasados y presentes (Past and Present Chants), with great surprises.

Taking the chance of ‘All Hollows In’ night, we’ll close the show with our traditional songs and poems to our ancestors, honoring our friands and relative that left us recently.

We have a plus this time, since the theater is directed by one of our new members: actress Amparo Ausina.
Yeeeehaaaa! A hurray for CoroDelantal!
