Originally from London I have been fortunate to travel the world with work and have lived in 6 different countries in 3 different continents. I enjoy exploring cities, understanding their history and culture, discovering amazing architecture, indulging in wonderful food accompanied with a glass of something sparkling! The wonderful thing about singing in a choir is the sense of belonging to a community, creating beautiful harmonies and being totally in the moment, free from any cares or worries. I think of Spain as my spiritual home, having lived in 4 different cities and feel very lucky to have made Valencia my home.

I am from Valencia. I work as an architect, designer, airbnb host, gardener and handy woman. I love beautiful things: design, houses, cities, but also nature, beaches and hidden places. I love dancing, singing, eating, travelling, dreaming and helping others. My family and friends, cinema and music, martial arts and meeting new people. Happy to be here, singing with all of you.

Hi, I'm Natalia from Poland. I’m a born traveler, interested in arts and languages. I love social gatherings and connecting with people.

My name is Monika Marchan. I am Polish, a lawyer, and a mezzo-soprano. I used to sing in the IC choir in Warsaw. I love to read novels, learn languages, translate, and go on bike excursions. I am a fan of the poetry of Fernando Augusto Cunha de Sá. My home is in Valencia.

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.

I'm Canadian with 4 children born in US, NL, AUS and SGP, one of whom is Chinese, all with the same wonderful wife. I love to argue and I go to choir instead of church. I dream of cycling across Europe.

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!

My name is Maria Jesus Ferrer, but I've been affectionately called Machus since I was a child.

I was born and raised in Valencia, although my parents are from Zaragoza. I am the third of a large family with 6 girls and only one boy. We have an artistic gene that runs in the family because my grandparents played the piano and the violin.

I am passionate about music and art, but I studied Law because my parents were lawyers, although I never practiced as a lawyer. At the same time, I pursued a degree in classical ballet, although I prefer modern dance styles like jazz.

Now that my two children are older and in university, I have a keen interest in History and Art in general, and in learning languages like English, for which I already have a foundation, as well as others like French or Italian. That's why I love this international choir.

Currently, I dedicate myself to my family and children and have hobbies that I'm passionate about, such as playing the piano, singing in the choir, dancing, and traveling.

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'm from Valencia. I've discovered this fantastic choir, and I love the people, the rehearsals, and our director who is the best.

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.

I am a purebreed Spaniard. Music is definitely one of my passions along with cooking, my favourite love language. I joined the choir because I was

rather tired of keeping it to myself. I have discovered it’s a wonderful way to connect with others.

A retired teacher from the National Education system, I decided to move to Valencia in 2017 and have been enjoying the climate and the hospitality of the Valencians ever since.

Wishing to sing in a choir, I discovered the Coro del Cabanyal project in June 2022, and since September 2022, I never miss it except in an emergency. A pleasure to share and sing with people of all ages and nationalities.

Fabio, from Rome 🇮🇹 and Basel 🇨🇭; Ph.D. in Philology; retired professor, former employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Living in Valencia since 2019.

I'm from Palermo, Italy and I'm a software engineer. I love cooking, playing videogames, reading books and doing trekking. I always played instruments like piano and guitar and I already was singing in a choir in Italy. I normally dream about food 🍕

My name is Elena, and I'm from Granada, Spain. I have a degree in Fine Arts and a degree in Product Design. Currently, I work at a ceramics school, and I absolutely love my job! I am passionate about art in all its forms. When I was a child, I used to sing in a children's choir. I enjoy singing, sharing, and enriching myself with people from other cultures.

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.

Born in Valencia, I studied design and interior decoration at the School of Arts and Crafts in Valencia, a profession to which I devoted a significant part of my life. Currently, and for the past eight years, I have been involved in humanitarian work at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, a role I combine with real estate management.

As a nature and animal lover, I am the proud mother of three children. Music is vital to me and it represents my way of expressing everything I am and feel. Singing in the choir is a highly rewarding experience of which I am very proud to be a part. I enjoy challenges and am quite perfectionistic. I sing as a soprano, and even though I have been in the choir for a short time, I already feel completely integrated. I look forward to continuing to learn as a team and enjoying our achievements together.

I am an actress working in Valencia. I love to sing, and was eager to join a choir as soon as possible. It is a wonderful community of people, and lots of fun!

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.
