We are very excited to announce our latest Coro de Clave collaboration, building on recent projects in Oxford with Steph Pirrie and the Jericho Singers, Bristol with Pitchblend and The Bristol Afro-Cuban Collective, as well as Coro de Clave members in London, Wales, Scotland and Granada, Spain.
Over the last year, we have shared Coro de Clave’s repertoire in these various communities, and now we would like to bring them all together, culminating in a performance on the 23rd of March.
We invite you to join Encuentro de Coros, meaning Gathering of the Choirs.
The project will involve in-person and online workshops and rehearsal and performance, which will take place in Bristol. This project is open to all. Workshop and performance locations are tbc.
