This work will be followed by the dance of planets and stars of La Lluna by ‎Ian Shaw, a work based on the poem by Jacint Verdaguer and winner of the second edition ‎of the El Cor Canta International Composition Competition for Choir and Orchestra. The ‎concert will be rounded off with a call for peace with Missa per la Pau (Mass for ‎Peace), by Salvador Brotons.‎  less

  This has been a long time coming. For the past several years I’ve mused about forming an interfaith vocal ensemble, but it never seemed to be the right time.   Now it is.   Feel free to join me. We already have rehearsal spac...
