Successful year for Sonrisas Harmony
SONRISAS Harmony has now finished its extremely busy and successful Christmas season performances. The first of which saw the chorus perform at a charity event for Activa Los Alcázares business association, which was attended by many local dignitaries. This was followed with a packed schedule which included the Christmas lights switch on and opening of the Nativity scene in Cartagena, where Sonrisas Harmony sang to a crowd of several hundred people and were rewarded with rapturous applause. They also had standing ovations at Restaurante Encarnación in Los Alcázares and the beautiful San Francisco parish church in the centre of San Javier - where the mainly Spanish audience stood and called for an encore.
The chorus was so moved by the overwhelming reception they received at the events this year, especially the private performances at two local schools - Colegio Las Claras and San Javier official language school. The students joined in the comical rendition of The 12 days of Christmas, and Sonrisas have already been asked to return for more events in the new year.
The Sonrisas Harmony fundraising and catering teams organised a ‘café and authentic German cake afternoon’, which was a great success and helped raise much-needed funds for their chosen charity, the San José Obrero diocese foundation college in Elche.
The season ended with carols sung by the Christmas tree in Dos Mares commercial centre, with one very special seated guest Papá Noel.
The Harmony Sonrisas spokesperson wished a very happy Christmas to all those who have supported the chorus over this, their first full year.
They are looking forward to 2024 with the chorus now having a total of 40 members from 14 different countries.
