Our trademark is singing all concerts by memory, which means that with a changing repertoire, our members have to be willing to Work hard.

This primal impulse is unfolded our production, connect it to space and light and bring it all together in our performance. the result is a new musical Work in a physical wholesomeness in which sound and movement do not compete but complement and enhance each other in fruitful ways. We are not interested in creating pictures for the music – we enhance the uncompromising sound to another level of perception, we heighten and amplify the body consciousness of our singing performers.

It’s an empowering life experience resulting from the intense months of Work and rehearsals, a learning process and a fantastic opportunity to share, to be supportive and to persevere in our personal and collective dreams. In this concert we present the Symphony for Strings No. 8 by William Herschel, musician and astronomer who went down in history as the discoverer of the planet Uranus in 1781. 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. is).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
