VALENCIA: CoroDelantal @ CCCC

Gran CoroDelantal & friends presents the edible score Templo @ Centro del Carmen, as a tribute to composer Llorenç Barber for his 75th birthday.

The piece was written by Sonia Megías in 2018 as a commission by magazine Quodlibet. This piece was a present to Valencian composer for his 70º birthday.

After performing Templo, we’ll do a Harmonic Procession and some othe naughty actions around Llorenç’s exhibition and the museum.


Here you can listen to the premiere, at the same museum, Centro del Carmen de Valencia (October 2028):

SANTA POLA: ‘SoLnatina’ by Rosa Torres-Pardo, Museo del Mar

The Baluarte del Duque Auditorium, part of Santa Pola Sea Museum, hosts a great concert by Rosa Torres-Pardo. The pianist makes a tribute to Alicia de Larrocha with it.

Included in the program is my SoLnatina, a youth piece that the pianist has had in her repertoire for years.

Along with my work, others by Menndelsohn, Mompou or Soler.

After the concert, we will have a conversation with Rosa, organized by the Museum together with the Association of Students of the Superior Conservatory of Alicante.

SANTA POLA: Coral salado 1

For the first time, CoroDelantal sings inside an aquarium.

Don’t miss it!

This will be at the Town Aquarium of Santa Pola, that belongs to the Museum of the Sea.

We’ll sing to the nine fish tanks, where we can find all kinds of species coming from Santa Pola Bay:

Cantaremos a las nueve peceras, donde hay todo tipo de especies de la Bahía de Santa Pola: eels, moray eels, octopuses, groupers, sea breams, sea basses, sea urchins, anemones, starfishes, manta-rays… even some pieces of Roman archaeology!

ALICANTE: Closing CoroDelantal MACA 2023/24 with Llorenç Barber and Montse Palacios

We had the big fortune at our Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA) of receiving historical figures from the performance art and experimental music in Spain Llorenç Barber and Montserrat Palacios.

We performed together in differents points from the building and give a talk on our projects and worries.

We are happy because we recieved a big river of audience, even if it was a Tuesday afternoon.

See you in September!


But before saying good bye, some wonderful pictures of our friend Carlos Izquierdo:

ORGAZ: ‘Alzo aquí’ by Coro Nur

On May 11, Coro Nur (light, in Arabic), founded by great conductor José Manuel López Blanco, sings in public for the first time my piece Alzo aquí, dedicated to José Manuel to accompany him in his transit of leaving the body. Lyrics are created by Mayan shaman Gustavo Pineda, from El Salvador, and are an invocation to natural forces.

It’s very emotional for me that his contemporary music chorus, his big project, sings this special piece. I can’t be there in person, but I will in soul.

You can listen to the piece, sang by the Young People’s Chorus of Madrid, in this link.

MADRID: ‘Alzo aquí’ by Coro Nur
