Apropa Choir

Cantar nos Acerca

Barcelona

The Apropa Choir, began spontaneously in 2014, through the initiative of a group of professionals who took part in the Close to Culture training sessions.
They all found that choral singing could help them grow personally and professionally.

Once a month, the Apropa Choir comes together in L’Auditori to rehearse, release daily stress and tension, and share experiences.

The result of these meetings is an annual concert which takes place in L’Auditori de Barcelona in June.
