2008 Performance Tour to Spain

In the Fall of 2008, sixty choristers from The Madeleine Choir School completed a performance tour to Spain, which included concerts in Segovia, Madrid, Granada, Cordoba and Sevilla.   The choristers toured and studied the works of the Spanish Renaissance composers, Francesco Guerrero, Alonso Lobo and Melchor Robledo.  The students collaborated with the Segovian children’s choir, Escolania de Segovia, to present a joint concert at the San Juan de los Caballeros Church.  In addition, they performed at the San Juan de Dios Church in Granada, the Hospital de la Caridad Church in Seville and concluded the tour with a formal concert at the Cathedral-Magistral de los Santos Niños Justo y Pastor in Madrid.  The Choir School students followed in the footsteps of the composers they were studying, singing Mass at cathedrals in Seville and Granada, where the composers worked and performed.
