Cantorion Creigiau spent a week in Menorca and performed 4 concerts. The Rotary Club of Menorca organised 3 concerts, held in the Parish Church of Sant Llois, Santa Maria Church in Mahon and the Cathedral in Cuitadella. Above is the programme issued by them which shows the Charities who would be benefiting from the proceeds. At 2 of the concerts the Choir were pleased to have as guests Menorcan Soprano Maria Camps who was accompanied by Organist Bartolome Olives. Tome also accompanied the choir for an item which can be viewed via the hyperlink to You Tube,to the right, as can Maria Camps performance.
The poster, also shown above, advertised the concert held in the Church of San Christobal in Es Mijgorn Gran, the village near Santo Tomas, where the choir were staying. An instrumental duo, X Tarrega from the locality, also took part and gave a superb performance.
Only 40 choristers went on tour, but the performances were received with standing ovations at each venue.
On departure the choir heard that the Rotary Club had raised over 2,000 Euro towards their charities, with sponsorship money yet to be received. The local church had raised over 400 Euro toward the repair of its' bell.
It had been a very busy week, but successful when we heard the amount of money raised as this was, and still is the reason Cantorion Creigiau was formed and is still performing for Charities, not just in their own locality.
