Muro, Mallorca, Spanienclassical · choral · sacred
The Cor Miquel Tortell de Muro is a Mallorcan choir named after the composer, organist, and priest Miquel Tortell i Simó (Muro, 1802 – Palma, 1868), one of the most significant figures in 19th-century religious music on the island. Tortell's output includes keyboard and vocal works — among them a Hymn, a Te Deum, and an Ave Maria — and he served as beneficiary and organist at the Seu de Mallorca. His compositional style, rooted in late classicism, is noted for its melodic complexity and sophisticated harmonic language.
The choir named in his honour carries on this musical legacy and performs regularly across Mallorca, most notably at the Festival Miquel Tortell, now in its 23rd edition, held in spring and early summer. The festival brings together ensembles, soloists, and emerging musicians. Recent highlights include a joint concert with the ensemble Voicello at the Església de Santa Anna. The choir's repertoire spans classical choral music, gospel, and jazz.
