The Spirit of New Orleans Gospel Choir brings the musical tradition of Louisiana to the Teatre-Auditori Emma Vilarasau. The group performs a repertoire rooted in New Orleans African-American music, integrating elements of the Jazz Funeral style. They translate the choral sound and weight of original gospel roots to stages outside the United States. The performance relies on the specific instrumentation and vocal technique characteristic of the region.
The Planns tip
The repertoire includes elements of the Jazz Funeral, a style that goes beyond conventional choral performance to incorporate its own cultural history.
The venue
Teatre-Auditori Emma Vilarasau
Not a grand Barcelona theatre, nor a marginal venue. Contemporary performance fifteen kilometres from Plaça Catalunya.
Opened in 1993 and renamed for the local actress, this venue pairs a large-format main hall with its own stagecraft workshop in the basement. Thirty percent of its audience crosses the Collserola mountain range from the metropolitan area seeking stable premieres.
