The Alfonso XI Choir is faithful to its Festivals appointment

Alfonso XI Choir couldn't miss its August Festivals appointment. It will take place on Sunday, 8/9 at 10 p.m. in the Fortaleza De La Mota deposit. It is a place that is very important to them. This is also a long-awaited performance since it is the only one that they have planned during this difficult year in the entertainment and music industry. IDEAL reached out to Juanra Gomez its director to learn more about the preparations and the repertoire that they will be performing.

The group started working on the August Festivals in July. The group has been very responsive despite having had very little rehearsal time. The group continued working during quarantine, which has been a positive thing for the performance," said Gomez of IDEAL. They were also encouraged to upload videos to the network while they were in confinement. This made their stay at home more pleasant and allowed them to return to the stage.

During the preparations for the concert, it has become a routine to observe safety distances and disinfect the space. A mask makes it more difficult to pronounce the words.

The group's director explained that the repertoire was not ready yet, but it is still appealing to many. The choir will perform songs and soundtracks from West Side Story. Juanra acknowledged that it was a difficult task because choral or group music requires a certain distance between the couple voices and those with whom we are working in a new perspective. This is not an aspect that will overshadow the performance.

Juanra Gomez's goal as a director has been to seek variety and not "pigeonholing into one style." The fact that Juanra Gomez can interpret different genres is increasing the audience and member diversity. The Alfonso XI Choir has been performing zarzuela since more than 14 years. However, they have also been incorporating other genres to bring it closer for all audiences.

They also enjoyed a performance that was special because they were unable to attend other dates. Linares performance with the choir from that municipality to perform Mozart’s Requiem' was one example. It was cancelled due to state of emergency.

Don't forget to reserve your place in advance.
