Stephanie sings as part of the University of Azuay choir

Cuenca is a city filled with music, as I have said several times.  Now that Christmas is around the corner, there are several music festivals every week.  We were invited to Stephanie’s birthday party last May.  When we heard she was be performing today as part of the University of Azuay choir, we went to hear her. The performance was outdoors. Fortunately the performers were under some heavy trees, as it rained during much of the afternoon.  Portable canopies were erected quickly for the audience.

There were also a series of children’s choirs from local schools performing more Christmas music, both “standards” and new music we had not heard before.
