Spain 2007 In the summer of 2007, WomenSing travelled to Spain. Their performances in the 25th Annual International Music Festival of Cantonigròs, the music festival at the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, and the Santa Maria del Pi church in Barcelona were extraordinary. WomenSing was the sole participant from the United States at the competition in Cantonigròs. (See the newsroom page of this site for a complete story and more photos.) While touring the cities and villages of Spain, singers and companions found the history and architecture of the region completely in accordance with the music they perform: diverse, with unexpected contrasts between the old and new. The experience was unforgettable. |

The tour began in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, with a performance at the Teatro de la Universidad. From Uruguay, we crossed the Rio de la Plata by ferry to Buenos Aires, Martín's home city, for several days of wonderful venues and sharing concerts with local choirs. In Buenos Aires we presented two concerts, the first in the Salon Dorado del Teatro Colon, an internationally renowned venue for opera and classical music that inhabitsa full city block. Two days later, we performed at the Aulu Magna de la Facultad de Derecho. WomenSing's final concert of the tour was performed in the high desert at the foothills of the Andes. |
