To celebrate the installation of Claudia L. Bolaño as the Plant City Community Chorale’s new Artistic Director, an open house and winter sing has been planned. The winter sing will allow interested singers the opportunity to preview some of the music to be performed by PCCC in the coming Spring and Summer concert seasons; while the open house is an occasion for singers and the community to meet Bolaño.
The event will begin at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 16, at First Presbyterian Church in Plant City, 404 W. Reynolds St. Some of the music to be sung is just for that evening’s fun and some will be pieces to be worked on for the PCCC spring concert in late April or early May.
Claudia Liliana Bolaño is a native of Bogotá, Colombia, where she attended the prestigious Pontific Javeriana University, majoring in instrumental and choral conducting, and piano. She earned her master’s degree in choral conducting from the University of South Florida.
Bolaño currently works as adjunct faculty for Harrison School for the Visual and Performing Arts in Lakeland, Florida, where she lives with her husband, Ernesto, and their children Juan José and Juliana.
