Then it was the turn of mixed choirs l’Écho du Suchet from Rances and La Bergère from Orbe to perform.
Both choirs sing together for three seasons and form a large choir of fifty members, led by Corinne Tschumi.

Followed the voices of singers of the Pastourelle, the mixed choir of the village of Cheyres and its director, André Denys.
The Pastourelle serves a repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to the French song, from classical to gospel and Christmas songs, but above all it is a chorus that echoes of songs and friendships since 1967.

Ecuador, December 2013.
This year we start the project in Quito, the capital, which rises at 2'850m in the heart of the Andes. Quito was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978 for its wonderfully preserved colonial architecture. The city is very close to the zero latitude (the line of Ecuador) and is surrounded by volcanoes Pichincha, Cayambe and Cotopaxi which gives it a unique setting.
