Born in Brasov, Transylvania, studied Architecture in Bucharest, moved to Rabat for a couple of years and then lived until recently in Montreal, where I worked as an architect and a teacher.

Happily retired in Valencia and still travelling a lot.

Hi I'm from London. I'm a former history teacher and senior leader in schools. The last 6 years I've built my own company as an Educational Consultant & Executive Coach. I love singing, dancing & swimming. I joined the choir because I was moving to El Cabanyal & wanted to sing and socialise with local people. My dream has recently come true as we have moved into our new house in Cabanyal!

Arrived in Valencia from UK in February. I'm a retired teacher. I used to sing in a community choir called Loud Mouth Women in Newcastle under Lyme. I love Spain and love singing!

I am Hannah from Germany. Being true to cliche, I love my work as a brand strategist and writer. My favorite thing, I think, is learning and connecting the dots. But I also love reading, hiking and going by bike - and singing of course, which is why I joined the choir after Ayse invited me. Plus I am notorious for baking my own sourdough bread. Unfortunately, I also have a chronic disease that often keeps me from doing what I would like t do but I try to ignore it as best as I can.

Hello, my name is Cristina, and I consider myself a fairly calm person. I'm one of the few Spaniards in the choir, and I'm also one of the youngest. I've always been quite fond of music (Tim used to be my music teacher in school, and when we found out he had a choir here, my mother and I didn't hesitate to join). I love going to concerts, and apart from music, I enjoy nature and animals.

I'm Benedetta, I've been living in Valencia for almost 2 years, and I'm Italian. I love to sing, and above all, share my hobby with other people. I sing in the alto section and I was one of the first to join the choir. I love reading, cooking, and going to the beach.

Originally Galicia and Turkey, born and bred in London. Moved here for a better way of life especially for our daughter, who also loves singing the choir’s songs. The choir is my therapy. We are a great bunch of lovely people and I love to sing.

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I have lived in various countries, including the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, and now Spain. I consider myself a citizen of the world, and I love to travel and explore different cultures and places. I joined the choir because singing makes me happy, and I wanted to be part of an international community. I have found both of these things in this choir.

Hello! I'm Ana Balaguer, born and residing in L'Horta Nord, a region of the city of Valencia.

I'm passionate about and enjoy spending time with my family, my friends, my pets, nature, cooking, trekking, traveling, and computers... and my home reflects all of these interests and my roots.

My education includes labor law, computer science, and education. Currently, I work at a school.

I've always been quite musical, and even though my musical background is very basic, I've discovered singing through the International Choir of El Cabañal. Through their classes, I'm improving my language skills, getting to know new cultures, and, most importantly, learning and enjoying music.
