Crescendo International Choir Sings in Los Montesinos Cultural Week Concert
Crescendo International Choir performed in a concert Sunday night, July 13, that was part of the closing event for Los Montesinos Cultural Week. During the first part of the evening the choir took part in the Centennial Celebration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Square. The choir sang the national hymn Sacred Heart of Jesus in the square along with the Los Montesinos Choir. Later in the evening, the choir sang three songs in Spanish before a mostly Spanish audience: Besame Mucho, Amapola and Clavelitos in a plaza in front of the local Catholic Church. They also sang two songs in English: Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps and Unchained Melody.
Then a Spanish guitarist played several songs and a theatre group did a short comedic performance. Afterwards, the Los Montesinos choir sang a variety of songs in Spanish. Around 11pm, both choirs closed out the evening singing Guantanamera together.
