The participatory musical is a project that comes out of the experience of the classical participatory concerts of the Obra Social de la Caixa. But on this occasion we are trying to convey to the members of the choir the experience of being in a musical, interpreting as an actor the most important repertoire of the genre.

THE PARTICIPATIVE MUSICAL

The participatory musical is a concert for choir , soloists and instrumental ensemble that proposes an attractive journey through the history of Broadway musical theater, from its origins to the present day, based on adaptations of some emblematic pieces written by the most outstanding and representative composers of the genre.

We want the participatory choir to live the experience in the most theatrical way possible, while performing the music without sheet music.
Will you join us?
