The boys choir at Montserrat
Well this is a bit different for me
Given we were visiting the monastery of Montserrat we thought we should make sure we heard the choir sing as they do every day at 1pm.The boys choir at Montserrat are called L'Esclonia. The first account of there being a Boy's Choir dates right back to 1223. Around the seventeenth and eighteenth century the music school at Montserrat really began to gain in importance and recognition. Today there are about 50 boys in the Choir they are also educated in other areas of academia whilst they are schooled at Montserrat. Not only do they perform in Monastery they have also given concerts in several countries around the world.
I must say the singing they produced was rather splendid. The shot was handheld and it was a little dark so perhaps not as sharp as I would like
However you spend this Easter weekend have a wonderful time
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
