Spain's premier boychoir, Escolania de Montserrat, founded in the Catalonia region in the 13th century and considered one of Europe's oldest continuously operating boychoirs and music schools, makes its highly anticipated Southern California debut in a free concert presented by the Los Angeles Children's Chorus (LACC) on Saturday, July 8, 2017, 7 pm, at Pasadena Presbyterian Church. The 800-year-old chorus, led by Llorenc Castello and the subject of a 2014 New York Times video, is affiliated with the Benedictine abbey Santa Maria de Montserrat, located in Monistrol de Montserrat, and is "unique even among boychoirs…(for its) richer and darker…red wine…type of sound" (Washington Post). The choir's repertoire spans the ages, from Gregorian chant and the music of Victoria and Schubert to works by contemporary Spanish-Catalan composers such as Albert Guinovart, Francesc Civil and Bernat Vivancos, the later two Escolania de Montserrat graduates. LACC's Concert Choir, led by Artistic Director Anne Tomlinson, performs a selection of classical works and folk songs on the program as well. Escolania de Montserrat's LA appearance, featuring 29 boys, is the final stop on its second U.S. tour, which also includes performances in New York, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco.
