The popular Costa Blanca choir Cantãmus brings its latest concert, *’Tis The Month Of Maying*, to the beautiful Ermita San Josep in La Fustera, Benissa, on Saturday 9th May 2026, with the performance beginning at 4pm.
Under the musical direction of Philip Ashley – the Costa Blanca’s well-known music and theatre producer – Cantãmus will present a programme that ranges from beloved popular classics to timeless choral gems, promising something for everyone.
The concert takes its name from the Renaissance madrigal *Now Is The Month Of Maying*, a nod to the season and spirit of the event.
But audiences can equally look forward to some of the most recognised and best-loved songs of recent decades. Josh Groban’s soaring anthem You Raise Me Up is sure to raise the roof, while Louis Armstrong’s What A Wonderful World is guaranteed to lift the spirits. Enya fans will recognise the dreamy Orinoco Flow, and fans of Disney’s Tangled will delight in I See The Light. The programme also includes the deeply moving Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone), the hauntingly beautiful The Water Is Wide, and the rousing Italian folk song Bella Ciao, which has found a whole new global audience in recent years.
The good news doesn’t stop with the music. Tickets include cake and cava during the interval, making it a wonderfully festive occasion. There is also a charitable element to the event: a portion of every ticket sold will be donated to the local Caritas branch, meaning that an afternoon of great music also makes a real difference to people in need in the local community.
Tickets are priced at 12.50€ and can be booked by calling 965 581 483 or online at www.philipashley.com/boxoffice.php
