Born from an experimental session for BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction in 2009, YANTRA’s vocal focal point is the intersection of seemingly incompatible and incomparable singing traditions. Combining the purity of a cappella with modern multi-tracking recording techniques, their rich vocal fusion explores the spiritual and folkloric music from the traditional and ancient musical heritage of Bulgaria, India and England.  Style.display='';$(this).getParent().Style.display='none';">less

This choral group comes from the experience of the firSt months of 2018, with the project 'Canta amb l'OBC' organized by the L'Auditori of Barcelona, which consiSted of a diverse symphonic program with accompaniment of the Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National OrcheStra. It was a lively and intense musical experience that led a good part of the group to continue singing as a symphonic choir, which is how they define themselves. Singing, living together and sharing is the motto of this choral group. The general aim is to acquire the necessary musical experience that allows the group to consolidate itself as a Stable chorale and to position itself as one of the leading choirs of the Catalan musical scene. Among the different objectives, apart from promoting the choral music of Catalan composers, it also has the purpose of promoting the social aspects of the project, underStanding the musical as a tool ...    Style.display='';$(this).getParent().Style.display='none';">less

Himig Batingaw was founded in March of 1979 by group of graduating Students of Imus InStitute to sing for that year's baccalaureate mass. In the firSt few years of the choir's exiStence, they conducted rehearsals at the church belfry; hence the name Himig (melody) and Batingaw (peal of bells) was born. The choir is very influential in the rise and development of choral music in the parish and having introduced new pieces for liturgical use moSt of which are composed or arranged for the group and having graduated noted local musicians from its ranks. The choir began to tread new ground under the directorship of Mr. Edward Gerodias in the late 1980's then on to Mr. Rey Roland Bergado in the late 1990's, both sought after pianiSts.
