I think everyone at Hive knows that I love music and that my soul is fed by every concert we experience. They are usually weekend experiences, one on, one off, but those who follow me will know that we have had three straight weeks of work, without rest, and our institution managed to overwhelm us in every way. It is with great joy that I write these lines after our successful final concert today, and these are the first hours of a few well-deserved days of rest, so I will tell you our little secret to survive three weeks of work... The Coffee ❤️

A weekend has arrived that I have been looking forward to for years, in fact since 2012, when we performed Verdi's Requiem with Gustavo Dudamel at the Teatro Teresa Carreño. I fell in love with this composition and its powerful sound, but strangely we have not sung it again until 2025. We have already been working hard on it for a couple of weeks and this Sunday we will finally perform it, but now it is my turn to sing it as a tenor, unlike last time when I was still in the baritone range, and now the experience will be in the Aula Magna of the Universidad Central de Venezuela.

Hello everyone. I think I had already mentioned it a few posts ago, we are in a musical peak moment with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of our institution. I thought it was a one-concert party, but it hasn't been like that, it has been event after event and little rest, but among so many activities I had forgotten to mention something that happened on Monday (I don't remember if it was this Monday or last Monday, but it was a Monday). We recorded our voices for a new album, and that had to happen in a single morning, the agenda is very full, but it has been one of the most pleasant moments of my last days.

Since I came to my adult life without children is a bit complicated to have days dedicated to go to the zoo, in fact if any of them come out it is not usually planned, but an experience with my friends with children or for work reasons, because yes, we have had choral concerts in zoos 😅 but in general I do not complain, I never see exotic animals, but it is a different experience and there is always some funny moment that remains stored in our minds. On this occasion it was just like that, one of my great friends wanted to take his daughter for the first time to this zoo, but I didn't know it either and I joined the adventure.

Today I want to share with you another beautiful musical memory, and this one comes from the city of Burgos in Spain. In this place our choral group had one of the coldest concerts in its entire trajectory, and it was zero degrees that day and inside the Cathedral of Burgos you could feel it too. Even so we had a gala concert and all the music was sacred. Burgos meant our penultimate concert in Spain, the last city we knew before returning to Madrid where this story had begun and it was a day I will never forget for many reasons.

Once again I greet with much affection to all the members of the Hive Architecture and Design community! Today is a special day for me, my choral group is celebrating 19 years of artistic career, and although I only have almost eight years belonging to it, it has given me dream moments in my work as a musician. I remember the first time I came to sing in Caracas with the choir, before being part of its ranks, my first trip to the capital and my first concert was in the Main Hall of the Central University of Venezuela, in 2011. Today, 14 years later I have the opportunity to celebrate being part of the group and returning to use this beautiful theater as our artistic home, and this is the third consecutive week that we have been doing musical life in the Main Hall.
