Breakfast and Corearte Barcelona 2024 farewell
The stages where concert performances will be held are chosen for their acoustic quality and their cultural and/or architectural significance, thus providing participating choirs an opportunity to sing in landmark places of Barcelona, including: the Montserrat Abbey, Basilic of Pí, Vilafranca del Penedés, among others.
The Organization, Corearte, provides an electronic piano or keyboard, depending on the location.
We also have tumbadoras, cajón drum and percussion set available. If the choir needs other instruments they must be provided by themselves. Some locations do not allow the amplification of instruments, please ask the Organization.
