SOTOGRANDE (Pres release) On December
3, Saturday, a concert featuring the first part or Christmas section of
Handel’s Messiah will be presented at the Sotogrande Church at 8:00 pm. The concert is sponsored by the Cultural
Association CODA of Jimena de la Frontera.
The main choir for the occasion will be the Camerata Singers of
Sotogrande which will be reinforced by members of the Jimena CODA Choir, Coral
Portus Albus of Algeciras and other individual guest singers. The
augmented choir will be accompanied by a Chamber Orchestra made of principally
the musicians from the Jimena CODA Choir and orchestra plus some invited
instrumentalists. The four soloists are
stand outs in their profession, having performed in various concerts, operas
and zarzuelas in many theatres. They are Esmeralda Espino (Madrid), soprano, Yvonne Edge Higginbottom
(Jimena), contralto, Damian del Castillo (Madrid), baritone and Luis Ma.
Pacetti (Málaga), tenor. The concert-director is David
Higginbottom of Jimena.>>>
The
collaboration between the Camerata Singers, the Jimena Choir and Orchestra, and
the Coral Portus Albus of Algeciras dates back for a number of years now. The joint
performance started with the Carol Service in 2001 and continued with bigger
works with orchestra, like the Mozart Requiem in 2006, the Vivaldi Gloria and
Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater in 2009, and finally in Handel’s Messiah, Second and
Third Parts in 2010.
The Cultural Association of Sotogrande is collaborating in promoting this concert, together with its main sponsor the CODA Cultural Association of Jimena de la Frontera.
