Its aim is to take up, interpret and spread renaissance and baroque music, especially Spanish music. The programmes presented by the group are the result of many musical researches and their objective is a stylistic, liturgical and poetic coherence.

[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   Size is in the eye of the beholder. How ‘big’ a choir is depends on the context of course, but working with a large group of singers in any ci...
