Invited guest musicians
We would like to dedicate this page to highlight those artists and musicians who have given their time to come along and accompany us in our singing and to support us at our concerts.
Our musical director Irene Oliva Andres is always seeking to explore new ideas on how we can present our songs and music, ensuring a varied and exciting experience for our audience when they come along to our concerts.
David Valera Ruiz is a dolçaina professional performer, and also he composes and conducts.
The name of the instrument he plays is "dolçaina" in Valencian language (most use) and dulzaina in Spanish.
He has already released two CDs, one featuring Moorish and Christian marches, and another called Tradifusió which blends traditional music with flamenco. You can listen to a snippet of each song on their website, in the "discography" section. He will soon be releasing another album for dulzaina and piano, "Sinèrgies".
