THIS IS A FESTIVAL OPEN TO CHOIRS THAT WANT TO SHARE THEIR MUSIC WITH LOCAL AUDIENCES AND ENJOY THE SPANISH CULTURE THROUGH ITS FOOD
This is a non competitive festival.
Dates: 16th-20th of October 2024.
The festival will take place in the Region of Valencia, in the eastern side of Spain. The choirs will sing in 3 different venues during 3 days. These venues are placed in small cities or neighborhoods around Valencia that usually have not the opportunity to enjoy international choirs. We want to take the music to places that are not in the list of most of the choirs visiting Spain.
And, because you know how important is food in the Mediterranean Way of Life. We want to take you deep into our culture and prepare great events where you will learn and taste great food and wine.
SINGING, FOOD AND SHARING GREAT MOMENTS
This is the program:
16th October 2024 VALENCIA
Arrival to Valencia.
17th October 2024 VALENCIA
Valencia city guided tour. This city located on the banks of the Turia River, where centuries-old traditions coexist in harmony with new trends. Although the city has many attractions, getting lost in the streets and squares of the old town, seeing the magnificent modernist buildings, strolling through gardens and parks, climbing high towers, visiting ancient churches or reaching the futuristic City of the Arts, are just some of the experiences that Valencia has to offer.
Transfer to the origin of the famous Valencia dish: PAELLA. You will have the chance to taste this fantastic rice dish and enjoy a boat ride at the Albufera lake.
Transfer to the Concert venue and Performance.
18th October 2024. UTIEL-REQUENA
Bus transfer to a Requena Winery.
Utiel-Requena’s winemaking tradition dates back 2,700 years. The archaeological sites found in this region support the production of wine and its uninterrupted commercialization from the Iberian era to the present day. Due to the natural factors that surround the area, has made viticulture a way of life in Utiel-Requena. The Bobal variety is the star of the Utiel-Requena Denomination of Origin. This native grape occupies 74% of the total surface of the vineyard, and is perfectly adapted to its climate and territory. Located in the inland plateau of the province of Valencia (Spain), 70 km from the sea. It has a Mediterranean climate with continental features, due to its 750 meters of average altitude.
Wine tasting and lunch at a local winery where they will show us how they make their special wines, the vineyards and their wine culture.
Transfer to concert venue and performance.
19th October 2024. DENIA
Transfer to Denia, Unesco’s city of gastronomy.
The sea breeze on your skin, the taste of one of the best gastronomy, the history that surrounds Denia… Wherever you look, this beautiful corner of the Costa Blanca will surprise you.
Dénia is the Creative City of Gastronomy by UNESCO and this encourages us to savor each of its corners. In Dénia, the best products of the sea and the Valencian orchard are fused to create dishes of a high level. The arròs a banda, l’espencat, dried octopus, red shrimp or suquet de peix are just some examples of the great variety and richness of Dénia’s cuisine.
After a guided tour through the city center and port you will have free time for lunch to discover the dozens of restaurants offering amazing food with all kinds of fresh local produce.
