CHRISTMAS CAROL CONCERT IN ORIHUELA CATHEDRAL
This coming Thursday December 22, 2011 at 17:15 there will be the first International Carol Concert held in the Cathedral in Orihuela.
The organization has been arranged by the Council department of Tourism, Protocol and Co-ordinated Services with Orihuela Costa, which has made this possible by receiving special permission from the bishop representatives to hold this type of concert for the very first time in the Cathedral in Orihuela.
All the residents of Orihuela Costa are invited to take part in this international carol concert.
Cllr Mancebo reported that he is very proud to be able to offer what will be a wonderful evening to the residents of Orihuela Costa. “This will really be an international evening,” he said. “We have music groups from Orihuela, two international choirs including our Spanish, English, German, Swedish and Dutch neighbours from the town and the coast.”
“We could not think of a better form of integration at Christmas time as an international carol concert. The gothic cathedral of Orihuela is a perfect backdrop for this first international carol concert. The international choirs will sing various Christmas carols in different languages and a reading appropriate for Christmas time will be read.“
After the concert Councillor Mancebo invites everyone to enjoy mince pies and wine.
“Thereafter, those attending will visit the Belen (the nativity scene) and the Christmas tree before we make our return journey to the coast,” he confirmed.
Councillor Mancebo asks if you would like to take part in the carol service to please call the office for International Residents in Playa Flamenca – tel: 966 760 000 ext: 34 to reserve your seat. This should be done by Wednesday. The buses will depart Playa Flamenca at 16:00.
