Encantado con YPAS Coro - Audience in Oviedo embraces singers from Louisville - Standing ovations for Amor Eterno

It was a wonderful concert for the YPAS Concert Choir and the Joven Coro de la Fundacion Principe de Asturias at the Auditorio Principe Felipe de Asturias. The audience in the prestigeous Sala de Camara Luis G. Iberni of a few hundred locals as well as people from afar, including one couple who came all the way from Louisville (not with the group) loved the choirs' performances and honored the singers with standing ovations. The two choirs concluded the formal concert with two songs that they sang together, Come la Flor, a beloved Spanish tune and Richard Burchard's special composition for the YPAS singers: Songs of Eternal Love. "Amor Eterno" was sung both in Latin and Spanish, the composition became an instant hit with the audience and enjoyed by Americans and Spanish alike. Minute-long applause was a wonderful reward for the students and their directors, Dr. Timothy Glasscock and Maestro Jose Angel Embil.
Additional information, pictures and more videos will follow - enjoy the clip below and we will let you know when the full concert is up on Youtube too. It is way past midnight here, so we hope you don't mind the wait until tomorrow as we are all pretty exhausted.

  1. Cannot thank you enough for posting these numbers from the concert for all of us back home to hear...not quite as good as being there, but almost! Doesn't sound like anyone will get sunburned at the beach! Have fun....

  2. Thank you Mr. Holloway - seeing that you enjoy the videos totally makes up for the lack of sleep. Maybe next time you can be there with your family.

  3. Congratulations to Mr. Glasscock and the YPAS chorus on an impeccable ensemble sound as judged from the video. The crowed response was not surprisingly exuberant. We are very proud.
