The Assembly Hall of Benidorm Town Council was filled with trepidation on February 15 as it welcomed a large audience to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Choir of the Benidorm Musical Union (UMB).
Among those present to honour the choir were the town’s mayor, and the mayor of Culture, along with several other members of the local government.
The UMB choir entertained with a blend of traditional and contemporary pieces
They were joined by the choir’s director, Rafa Gomez Parra, and several board members of the Musical Union, all of whom were there to mark this special milestone in the choir’s history. “You have given the gift to us,” the mayor remarked, expressing gratitude for the community’s support and dedication to the arts.
The highlight of the evening was a beautifully orchestrated concert conducted by Joaquin Garcia Fernandez, a talented musician from the Musical Union who also teaches at the local Conservatory. The UMB Choir entertained the audience with a rich repertoire that showcased a blend of both traditional and contemporary pieces.
In addition to the musical performances, the Musical Union took the opportunity to celebrate the dedication and service of its choir members.
Special recognitions were presented to those who have faithfully participated in the choir throughout its impressive fifteen-year history, as well as those who have reached the significant milestone of ten years with the group.
