URJC Choir
The University Choir is made up of staff and students who share a love of singing and music as a community. We meet once a week to rehearse on the Móstoles campus, preparing projects that lead us to unique experiences.
We participate in the University's major academic events and offer several concerts each year with a varied repertoire, ranging from classical music to contemporary pieces. We frequently collaborate with the Orchestra, forming an impressive ensemble that has performed in such iconic venues as the National Auditorium in Madrid, the Almudena Cathedral, the Church of Las Calatravas, the Pontifical Basilica of San Miguel, and the Royal Basilica of Our Lady of Atocha. We have also taken our music beyond our borders, performing in countries such as Hungary, the Czech Republic, Austria, the United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, Morocco, and Turkey.
You don't need any prior musical knowledge to join the choir. All you need is your voice and a desire to have fun. Come and participate!

Musical Theater Workshop
A practical workshop dedicated to the fascinating world of musical theater, focusing on vocal technique, musical interpretation, staging, and body movement. Throughout the sessions, we'll explore both individual and group performance, exploring different pieces from the genre's repertoire.
The main objective is to experience musical theater as a form of personal growth: to understand ourselves better, learn to express ourselves freely, overcome stage fright, and develop tools that can be useful not only on stage but also in our daily lives.
