HUGE SUCCESS AT GETXO’S CHORAL DAY
June/29/2009
Getxo’s
II Choral Day took place last June 21st beneath the
marquis at the Saint Eugene Plaza in Romo
and was hugely
successful both thanks to the participation of
choral groups from all around the council as
well as in audience.
A total of 9 choral
groups took part; Eskuz-eskuz, made up of white
voices solely, several mixed groupings,
Ondarreta, Xoxoak, Irutasun, Gorrondatxe,
Itxartu and Tangora Soinutarrak as well as the
Erromo’ko Kanatariak and the Biotz Alai
and as the two deep voice choirs. The audience
readily applauded all the choirs; special
mention to the sensational performance of
Kitolis by the Biotz Alai accompanied by 4
dancers from the Aratz Taldea Gorliz group who
danced the espatadantza (sword dance).
Koldo Iturbe, culture councilman, handed over to all a figurine in commemoration of the concert and finally everyone joined in singing the Agur Jaunak (Farewell song) under Manuel Torre Lledo, Ondarreta conductor’s baton.
