Concert in Sestao

This year, 2006, the Orfeón choir of Sestao is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and has invited our choir to give a concert in Sestao as part of the commemorative events it has organised. The concert will take place on February 24, in the Church of “Los Frailes”, at 8pm. The Biotz Alai will use the opportunity to take a journey through its discography, performing songs from the six CDs the choir has recorded, and offering selections from all its work over recent years. As well as the more established “classics” from the Biotz Alai repertoire, such as Goizeko Izarra, Boga-boga and Katalin, the audience will be able to hear works such as Ach Fraulein Zart, Sind Surmani and Beethoven’s Adagio. In addition the choir will perform two works which they premiered with great success at their members’ concert on January 7 of this year, namely Maite Miña, by Glz.Bastida, and a harmonization of the Agur Jaunak, by Tomás Garbizu, accompanied by piano and a group of “txistularis”.

Our choir regards this concert with a great deal of interest and affection, all the more because the Orfeón of Sestao and the Biotz Alai have always maintained a deep friendship which has survived the years and the different singers who have performed in the two choirs.
