Program
Crescendo is the evolution of the choir, our growth as individuals and as a group from the very first rehearsal to finally singing for our audience at L’Auditori.
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.
