Schola Cantorum de Venezuela listing on Broadway Baby

Led by Artistic Director Mara Guinand, the dazzling choral forces of Caracass Schola Cantorum de Venezuela bring a vibrant and unmissable exploration of the sacred and the profane to this years International Festival.

Alongside a thrilling opportunity to hear diverse works from the Latin American choral repertoire, this musical journey from the 19th to the 21st centuries will cross the Atlantic to take in gems from composers such as Ralph Vaughan Williams and Estonias Veljo Tormis.

In a concert that is split into two distinctive halves, the choral society begins with remarkable choral music inspired by the Christian tradition. But the latter half of the concert promises more daring repertoire, summoning ancestral rituals as well as references to popular culture. Composers Beatriz Bilbao (Venezuela), Sir James MacMillan (Britain), Alberto Ginastera (Argentina) and Guido Lpez-Gaviln (Cuba) can all be discovered in this programme.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
