We greatly appreciate ticket purchases from you, our audience, during our concerts.
Our members, director, and committee invest their time in the choir altruistically, but a concert requires a lot:
musical arrangements, purchase of sheet music, musicians, sound equipment, printing costs, travel—these are all
significant expenses.
We wish to continue serving the Sitges community for many years to come and your donations are both essential and
very gratefully recieved. Please visit www.sitgescanta.cat.
