Under the slogan ‘Serenade to the City’, this edition pays tribute to the 25th anniversary of the proclamation of La Laguna as a World Heritage City, highlighting the deep connection between its historical legacy and the choral tradition that, for more than four decades, has been an essential part of its cultural identity.

The event is sponsored by the Culture Department of La Laguna City Council and its Autonomous Body for Musical Activities, and coordinated by the Canarias Canta Cultural Association. It is being held within the framework of the objective of all the choirs in La Laguna and the choral movement of La Laguna, which is: #DeHoyEnCuatro – Towards the 50th anniversary of the La Laguna Choral Encounter.

For seven days, choral groups from all over the island will offer daily concerts in a musical tour that will take the audience to such significant venues as the Teatro Leal, the Orfeón La Paz, the former Convent of Santo Domingo, the Church of Santo Domingo, La Laguna Cathedral and the Church of La Concepción.
All performances will begin at 8:30 p.m., with a programme that highlights both the stylistic diversity and the artistic level of the participating groups.
