The Solvay Ensemble Choir once again brought together dozens of choristers and instrumentalists to perform the Creole Mass by Ariel Ramírez, as is tradition in Torrelavega at the beginning of each Christmas. On this occasion, the event took place at the Church of Santa María in Barreda. In addition to the Creole Mass, the Solvay Ensemble Choir performed a selection of Christmas Carols by Ariel Ramírez, accompanied by traditional instruments from Argentine folklore. This event is always of a charitable nature and, on this occasion, funds were raised that will be entirely allocated to those affected by the recent DANA in Valencia.
The following instrumentalists performed: Pablo Mezzelani (traditional flutes and percussion), Francisco Javier Trueba (charango and solo guitar), Pablo Ortiz (Andean bass drum). Guitar group (Ana Belén Gómez Eguren, Manuel Gandarillas, Araceli Cuesta, Maika Aller and José Luis Madrazo).
