Cantoría

  • This collaboration will allow the participating choirs to have access to the synthesized repertoire of this emerging vocal quartet
  • Cantoría has its origin in the ESMUC and already has a history of recognitions that have taken them to stages throughout Europe.
  •  This collaboration will materialize in various actions that will have the participation of the project's choirs.

The vocal quartet Cantoría and the TROMPA project have signed a collaboration agreement that will allow the choirs participating in the project to access the repertoire of the vocal ensemble and also perform a concert that will bring together all the participants in spring 2021. Cantoría is currently making recordings of his repertoire and thus obtaining the synthesis of the voices so that they can be made available in the prototype for choir singers of the TROMPA project, which already has the collaboration of 6 choirs from Barcelona. All this will materialize with a concert in Barcelona with the participating choirs and a common repertoire previously recorded by Cantoría.

The TROMPA project, in its case of use of choir singers, has created an application to help choir singers in their individual practice and for the learning of choral music with or without knowledge of Musical language.

Cantoría is an ensemble created in 2016 and is directed by Jorge Losana and its members are Inés Alonso (soprano), Samuel Tapia (countertenor), Jorge Losana (tenor and conductor) and Valentín Miralles (bass). With various international recognitions and awards, their career has taken off with force and they have performed concerts in many countries around Europe: Italy, Germany, France, Poland, United Kingdom, Belgium, Croatia, Lithuania, Spain, etc.
