The Basque Orchestra has drawn lots and selected, among 600 candidates, the 132 voices that will sing alongside the Baluarte de Pamplona, the Kursaal de Donostia and the Euskalduna Bilbao.
In the drawing of lots, 34 sopranos, 32 contralto, 32 tenor and 34 bass have been selected (people who did not know which vocal group they belonged to were able to perform a face-to-face test in the days before the draw). The only requirement was to have minimal musical preparation and to be able to read scores.
The 132 selected voices have been divided into two choirs of 66 voices, the choir A and the choir B. The choir A, composed of the voices of Gipuzkoa and Navarra, will participate in the concert of the Baluarte and the first of the Kursaal, while the choir B, composed of the voices of Bizkaia and Araba, will participate in the concert of the Euskalduna.
Each choir will have a specific ten-essay plan, and there will be four shared rehearsals for both groups, most of which will take place in Miramon between January 14 and March 12.
The first concert will be on March 13 at the Baluarte auditorium in Pamplona, the second on March 14 at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, and the third and fourth on March 16 and 18 at the Kursaal auditorium in Donostia.
The repertoire will consist of three works: 'Euskalerria' by Sorozabal, 'Martxa eta abesbatza' by Bizet's opera 'Carmen', and a third work to be selected by the singers in the coming days.
