Crescendo International Choir gave a well-received concert with the Royal British Legion Concert Band Saturday October 15 at Don Pancho Hotel in Benidorm. The concert was a fundraiser for the RBL Poppy Appeal and to support the band itself. Other performers at the event included the Jersey Boys and Steve Spit.
On November 11, Crescendo Choir will be joining the RBL Band to perform in the church by Plaza de Constitution in Torrevieja for a Poppy Day remembrance service in the morning. In December, two Crescendo and RBL concerts are planned. One will be held Friday, December 9 in the San Fulgencio Teatro while on Friday December 15, both groups will perform Christmas music together in the evening at the main plaza in Torrevieja.

Concerts are also planned for Saturday evening, December 10 at the Catholic Church in Benijofar as well as Saturday December 17 at La Siesta Church in Torrevieja.
