Ancor che col partire
io mi senta morire,
partir vorrei ogn'hor, ogni momento:
tant'e il piacer ch'io sento
de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno:
et cosi mill'e mille volt'il giorno
partir da voi vorrei:
tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei.
Although when I leave you
it is as if I were dying,
I would wish to leave you every hour, every moment,
I am so very happy
when life comes back to me when I return:
and so I wish I could leave you
many thousand times a day
because my heart leaps with joy when I return.

This choral group comes from the experience of the first months of 2018, with the project 'Canta amb l'OBC' organized by the L'Auditori of Barcelona, which consisted of a diverse symphonic program with accompaniment of the Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra. It was a lively and intense musical experience that led a good part of the group to continue singing as a symphonic Choir, which is how they define themselves. Singing, living together and sharing is the motto of this choral group.
The general aim is to acquire the necessary musical experience that allows the group to consolidate itself as a stable chorale and to position itself as one of the leading Choirs of the Catalan musical scene.
Among the different objectives, apart from promoting the choral music of Catalan composers, it also has the purpose of promoting the social aspects of the project, understanding the musical as a tool ... less

Today the righteous rejoice, saying:
Glory to God in the Highest,

The Choir is directed by Dr Simon Lindley, its Music Director since the singers' formation in June 1977.
