"Working with boys and girls who like singing is very enriching and very exciting!  Our goal is to make good music while having a good time and making ourselves all a little happier!"

Born in Santa Maria d’Oló (Barcelona), Glòria Coma i Pedrals studied conducting with Mireia Barrera, Josep Vila i Casañas, Pierre Cao, Johan Duijck and Harry Christophers.
