Introducing Sonrisas Harmony, the new A cappella Chorus on the coast of the Murcian Region; this all-ladies group are based in the Los Alcázares area.
Sonrisas Harmony formed in September 2022 with fifteen ladies who loved to sing and have the support of each other with the social side of the friendships they have formed. Since that time, the Chorus has grown to over 30 members, with nationalities from all over the world. The Musical Director Valerie Lynch is from the USA and comes to Sonrisas with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Valerie graduated from the Crane School of Music in New York with a Bachelors Degree in Vocal Performance and Music Education, going on to receive a Masters Degree from The University of Texas. She has been a vocal coach and adjudicator in a variety of music genres. Having toured for over 20 years singing as a guest artist with various symphony and chamber orchestras across the USA, Valerie also worked with renowned instrumentalist for many years. Now settled here in Spain, she smiles when she comments that she is the proud MD of Sonrisas Harmony.
The music that Sonrisas Harmony perform is contemporary, four-part harmony A cappella. That might sound a bit of a mouthful to those who have not sung in a chorus before, so to explain, it is singing without the accompaniment of instruments, in four parts: lead, baritone, bass and tenor. The music is modern as well as some classic songs.
In April 2023, Sonrisas Harmony were asked to be in the opening show of one of the biggest A cappella contests in Europe. The spokesperson for the Chorus commented that “it was a great honour to be asked to perform at the Spanish Barbershop Convention 2023, it was the first time a non-barbershop chorus had taken part as far as we know”.
Last Christmas, Sonrisas Harmony sang at various venues around Los Alcázares and San Javier areas, so if you get the chance to attend one of their performances arrive early as it has mostly been standing room only with packed-out audiences!
The ladies rehearse every Wednesday from 10.30am to 1.30pm at Las Claras Centre in Los Alcázares.
There is no previous singing knowledge required and you are never asked to sing alone. All that is required is that you like to sing and have fun, as there is also a social side to Sonrisas Harmony where the ladies have social afternoons or away days.
