BIOTZ ALAI MEMBERS CONCERT
January/12/2008 20:00
These concerts began on January 5th 1970 when we first celebrated an Epiphany Concert, which soon turned into a homage to the choir members, and was called the Members Concert by 1972.
The Biotz Alai usually celebrates its festive concert alongside a guest choir, which will be the Araba choir from Vitoria on this occasion. It is a deep voice choir, with whom the Biotz Alai will jointly interpret Cherubini’s Requiem in D minor next year, under the baton of Maestro Juanjo Mena, sharing scenario with the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra as well as with two other choirs, the Easo and Voces de Navarra choirs, forming a total choir group of 150 deep voices.
This celebration will serve as an aperitif to the great forthcoming concert; both choirs will interpret various masterpieces from their own repertoires, ending up with 5 joint masterpieces which will be interpreted by more than 80 choir members and a grand finale alongside the Uribe Costa Txistulari (Traditional Basque Flute) Band.
The Members Dinner will be held at the Igeretxe Hotel after the concert, where a total of 250 assistants are expected.
