Melómano magazine salutes CANTORÍA
Less than two years after the Spanish classical music magazine Melómano championed the emerging force of nature that was, and is, Cantoría, the time came for an interview – and a front cover! We know how hard they work. And the results this dedication brings when combined with their technical and creative talents. But it’s great to see this process acknowledged by others – and in this instance confirming the vocal ensemble is “reaching maturity” and demonstrating that “a job well done, with rigour, is rewarded.” To access this interview (subscription / edition purchase required): www.orfeoed.com/tienda More info about Cantoría: www.cantoriamusic.com
