Collegium Musicum
Collegium Musicum was founded in 1975 by the late
Anna Maria Kater to provide the coast with classical and sacred
music. Today there are 60 members of the choir and 25 members of
the orchestra aged between 12 and 80 represent 15 different nationalities
who come from Sotogrande to Torremolinos. They are directed by Annemarie
Philipps, violin and viola player, a member of the Malaga Symphony
Orchestra since 1983.
Though Collegium Musicum collaborates with the Marbella
and Fuengirola Town Halls it receives no official help. The Association
is funded by the annual subscriptions paid by its active members
and annual donations from its founders and life members. All of
which goes towards the cost of running what is now a veritable music
company whose series of concerts at Christmas and Easter give so
much pleasure to music lovers along the Costa del Sol. The Spring
concert in Marbella in the Encarnacion Church is in aid of Concordia,
the local charity association dedicated to helping AIDS sufferers.
Collegium Musicum rehearses in the Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días en Calle El Ruedo, Los Boliches on Tuesdays. Orchestra: from 18.00 to 20.00 hrs. and choir from 20.00 to 22.00 hrs.
Choir and orchestra will always welcome new members, especially string players and singers with a little bit of experience. Anyone interested
should contact Anne Marie on 952 77 54 92. Movil. 659 111 526. email collegiummusicum@ya.com.
More information on the association is available from Els Crol
on 952 811 795.
