Grupo Coral Clube Colaboradores AGEAS
AGEAS Employees Choir Club
Created in 1988, by initiative of a group of employees, the Employees Choir Club consists of 20 elements. Since 2002, is directed by Lígia Castro, following the work of his father and predecessor, conductor José Castro.
The Group performed concerts across the country, in particular in the See of Miranda do Douro, in the Church of Oliveira (Guimarães), in Santo Antão Church (Évora), in the Lisbon Geography Society, in the evening concerts of the Centro Cultural de Belém and in most of churches of the city of Porto. It participated in the international festivals of Vienna (1997) and Venice (2003), organized by the InterKultur Foundation, and of Laxe (2004) in an Porto/Galician cultural exchange. In 2009, it performed Santa Maria sopra Minerva Basilica in Rome.
The Choir has associated itself with solidarity actions from the AGEAS Foundation and the Cais Foundation, and has played in nursing homes for the elderly and in prisons.
Last September it promoted the performing of an Autumn Concert at Tavira's Misericórdia Church with the Tavira and Quarteira Choral Groups.
In December, as is the Group's tradition, a Christmas concert is held in the city of Porto.
