This past November, the first annual Discover Puerto Rico International Choral Festival took place in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Six choirs from the United States and many choirs from Puerto Rico joined together in song and celebration in honor of music and Puerto Rico’s Discovery Day! During the four days of the festival, there was plenty of singing, dancing, socializing, and sharing of cultures. Choirs attended a workshop on Puerto Rican music, sang a friendship concert with a Puerto Rican choir, and sang at local church services in Ponce. The last night of the festival, all of the choirs, from the States and Puerto Rico as well, joined together to perform the festival’s theme song “Tributo Musical a Puerto Rico” for a packed crowd.
