Crescendo International Choir performed three successful concerts in April, providing free musical entertainment for people in the Costa Blanca area and raising money for various causes. Most recently, Crescendo International Choir performed at La Siesta Evangelical Church in La Siesta Urb., Torrevieja, on Monday, April 17. A retiring collection at this concert raised 376 euros for the church’s charity work.
On Saturday, April 15, at Santiago Apostol Church in Benijofar, Crescendo Choir gave a free concert in the evening, after the regular mass. More than 250 euros was raised to help the town hall’s social services department buy food for people in need in the Benijofar area.
At the start of April, Crescendo Choir gave a Saturday evening concert at Salt Church in Los Montesinos. At this event, 420 Euros were raised through the red bucket collection after the event. Half of this money went to Salt Church for its own use and half went to Crescendo Choir to help it continue giving free concerts as the music director and the pianist are paid professionals. Member dues also help cover this expense.
Some of the many songs performed were Make You Feel My Love, made famous by Adele, I Say a Little Prayer for You, made popular by Dione Warwick, The Rose, sung by Bette Midler and Hallelujah by Leon Cohen. The choral group also sang City of Stars, from the popular film LA LA Land, winner of six Academy Awards in 2017. For its grand finale, the choir sang a medley of songs from the highly popular musical Les Misérables.
