The A Coruña City Council is advancing in the organization of Chorus 2027, the second edition of its educational and musical project, which will be held on January 10, 2027, at the Coliseum. The initiative already has 394 registered schoolchildren, 150 more than in its inaugural edition.
Last weekend, the second rehearsal session took place at the Conservatorio Profesional de Música da Coruña, with the participation of students and teachers from various educational centers in the city and surrounding areas, including CEIPs Eusebio da Guarda, San Pedro de Visma, Luis Seoane, María Barbeito, and Prácticas; CPRs Sagrado Corazón-Franciscanas and Compañía de María; and IES Afonso X o Sabio, Salvador de Madariaga, Fernando Wirtz, David Buján from Cambre, and María Casares from Oleiros.
The increase in participation confirms the positive reception of a project that, in its first edition, brought together over 630 voices, becoming a cultural and educational benchmark in the city.
“"Chorus was born with the vocation of being a city project, and seeing that more and more centers and schoolchildren want to be part of this experience is the best demonstration that we are on the right track. Music is an extraordinary tool for educating, for creating community, and for transmitting values."
The Mayor of A Coruña, Inés Rey, highlighted that the registration figures reflect the project's consolidation. She recalled that the first edition featured ensembles such as the Orquestra Sinfónica de Galicia, the Orquestra Xove, the Coro Xove da OSG, the Conservatorio Profesional de Música da Coruña, the Coro MiniGaos, the Coro Gaos Novo, and the Coro Gaos, as well as guest artists like Rosa Cedrón, Carolina Rubirosa, Gandy, Carlos Tojeiro, Eva B, and Tinho.
Rey emphasized that Chorus goes beyond a concert, as through choral singing, children learn to listen, cooperate, and understand the value of each voice. Rehearsals will continue in the coming weeks, and information regarding ticket collection and further concert details will be announced soon.
