The Spanish capital is preparing to host one of the most anticipated events of the “April Music in Madrid” series. On Saturday, April 25, at 7:00 PM, the Chancel of Village Church choir, originally from San Diego (California), will perform a unique concert at the emblematic Oratorio del Caballero de Gracia, located in the heart of the city.

This ensemble, associated with the Presbyterian church of Rancho Santa Fe, boasts an impressive trajectory of over seven decades of uninterrupted activity. Throughout its history, the choir has collaborated with renowned institutions such as the San Diego Chamber Orchestra and the Martin Luther King Choir, establishing itself as a benchmark in premiering works by contemporary composers like Sarah Rimkus and Brandon Waddles.

The performance in Madrid is part of their fourth international tour, a journey that includes several Spanish cities and has been organized by Goes Travel.

Under the baton of conductor Juan Carlos Acosta and with piano accompaniment by Suzanne Schick, the group will present a program exploring the musical identity of the United States. The repertoire will include compositions by figures such as Amy Beach, Elaine Hagenberg, Tom Fettke, and Shawn Kirchner, in addition to a selection of famous American spirituals, known for their profound emotional depth.

This event represents an exceptional opportunity for choral music enthusiasts, offering the chance to enjoy a high-quality concert in a setting with outstanding acoustics and significant architectural value. Admission is free until full capacity is reached, with no prior reservation required.
