The Chamber Choir of Matanzas, conducted by Dr. Jose Antonio Mendez Valencia, won the Public’s prize and the third place in Polyphony at a contest ended last Sunday at Torrevieja, Spain.
The choir represented Cuba in the 54th International Habanera and Polyphony Contest, one of the most important of its type in Spanish America, with a twenty-minute program, in compliance with the event’s requirements.
The site of the contest (www.habaneras.org), reports that the Cubans were preceded in polyphony by the Children Choir from San Juan, Puerto Rico, conducted by Carmen Acevedo, and the Cantemus Mixed Choir, from Hungary, the conductor of which ―Soma Szabo―, won also the award for best conduction.
The Cubans shared the stage of this event with around twenty choral groups from America, Africa and Europe. The first prize of the contest went to the choir of the Manila Eastern University, Philippines, followed by the group Oñakito Gambara (Guipúzcoa) and by the University Choir of Mendoza (Argentina).
The Cuban choral group will continue working on the mission Cultura Corazón Adentro, in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, teaching choral singing techniques to boys and girl without distinction as part of the programs of the Bolivarian Alternative for Latin America (ALBA).
