We did it so, that the 21st of September, we could join our voices to all those thousand of Choirs and choral singers that are singing for the peace within the OneDayOneChoir initiative. El pasado junio, en el Festival de fin de curso de los Coros Escolares de Voces Blancas del Nalón, preparamos y cantamos nuestra interpretación de la pieza The New One Day One Choir Song. De esta manera, sumamos nuestras voces a las de miles de coros y coralistas del mundo que cantan el día 21 de septiembre por la paz mundial.
