I refer to the Coral Carthagonova, an institution in the city that participates in cultural events Cartagena with more roots and tradition” said Carlos Piñana at the beginning of the presentation.
After Piñana, David Martínez Noguera took the floor, where he indicated that: “Much has happened since the extraordinary Perotino Magno, known as the “optimus discantor”, placed his voice at the disposal of the public and much has happened since the Coral Carthagonova has dedicated body and soul to polyphonic music acquiring the relevance it has today.
