Program

Following the musical and human success of the Canta project with the OBC during last ‎season (17/18), a large number of its singers decided to continue singing together and form a ‎new project: El Cor Canta.‎This 140-strong choir will present two choral symphony works in its first concert.‎

First, John Rutter’s Magnificat, a work that was premiered in New York’s Carnegie Hall in May ‎‎1990 and which, according to the English composer himself, “evokes a poetic outpouring of ‎praise, joy and trust in God”. ‎

The second part brings, with the same brilliant and colourful orchestration as Rutter’s work, ‎Albert Guinovart’s Gloria, a work commissioned by El Cor Canta and written specially for this, ‎the ensemble’s first concert.‎

Our aim with this is to give the public a consolidated work within the contemporary ‎repertoire, the Magnificat, together with a completely new work by one of our most ‎appreciated and renowned local composers.‎

Both works will also be performed by the GIOrquestra, a young but already renowned ‎orchestra born in Girona seven years ago, and by the prestigious Tarragona-born soprano Marta ‎Mathéu.‎
