Enrique Arriaga, who attended the concert that the Young Choir offered yesterday, stresses the "great work delivered by the young chorus members"

 

The Auditorio de Tenerife, a cultural space linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council, is managed by its Director of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. The Auditorium’s Youth Choir offers on Thursday, the 8th of July at 7:30 pm, a concert in the Real Casino of Tenerife. The Youth Choir was created in 2016 within the Educational and Social Area of Auditorio de Tenerife. It is comprised of some thirty voices, young people who are between 16 and 30 years old, and it is directed by Roxana Schmunk.

During their concert in the Real Casino de Tenerife, they will feature the same 18 pieces they sang yesterday during the concert offered by the Auditorio de Tenerife.
