On the occasion of the presentation of the book-object ‘Dada Women’, of which I am part, my CoroDelantal (aprons chorus) will premiere my work Sainals, a set of scores-signals that I designed in I-Park (Connecticut) in 2008 and that I finally brought to score now, in 2021, to work with the CoroDelantal MACA.
Patricia García Sánchez presents her book La música durmiente. Quince compositoras de la historia (Sleeping music. Fifteen women composers from History) at Manuel de Falla Auditorium, Madrid:
At the presentation, CoroDelantal (ApronsChorus) willperform my piece The Time in a Thread.

As part of the exhibition Centzontlahtoleh, the languages that speak to us, by Eva Lootz, at the art gallery La caja negra in Madrid, CoroDelantal performs a ritualistic invocation to the native languages of Latin America that are extinct or in danger of extinction, to contribute to bring them back.

CoroDelantal MACA (Aprons chorus from the Contemporary Art Museum of Alicante) has been rehearsing for some days at the Sea Museum of Santa Pola, that has its headquarters in a fantastic building from the 16th Century:
We’ll give a concert there on November 29th as a thanks-giving act!
Gran CoroDelantal, formed by members of the CoroDelantal of New York, Madrid and Alicante, will perform this event at the American International Institute.
The show will be composed of sound walks, tactile scores, video scores…
We will count as soloists with pianist Rosa Torres-Pardo and soprano Ana Zurita.
Gran CoroDelantal premieres the video-score Sonata, co-created by Eva Lootz and Sonia Megías. This will be at the Círculo de Bellas Artes Cultural Center in Madrid. Eva Lootz was our invited artist at the CoroDelantal MACA (Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante) during Winter 2022 workshop.
Sonata‘s motion graphics are by Carlos Cueto.
Ever since human beings became astronomically aware, they have celebrated solstices and equinoxes with festivities full of rituals of all kinds. The Church would appropriate these dates calling them Christmas, St. John, St. Joseph or La Merced, but we must not forget their pagan origin. In this winter solstice concert, CoroDelantal MACA takes us into artistic and ritual worlds from which we will come out transformed and listening.
Do you dare to be our audience?
Program:
Ursonate (1932) …….…… Kurt Schwitters
Coral hablado (1966) …… Ramón Barce
Sonia Megías, conductor
The workshop consists of an encounter between movement, sound and matter. A work of plasticity, which will bring to the scale of human bodies the grids, cradles and other geometries of Eva Lootz’s string figures. How will the patterns of play, their nature, and the string itself influence the voice and the body? This is the starting point of a research work between the dancer Alicia Narejos, the plastic artist Eva Lootz and Sonia Megías, conductor of CoroDelantal. The experiment was born in the MACA in Alicante and will be developed in places like the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.
The first show will be on Sunday 12th at 13:00 at Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Alicante.
