A voice from Montserrat. Danske Gas becomes a patron of the Escolania de Montserrat
The Escolania de Montserrat has sung in the abbey basilica since the fourteenth century. Danske Gas has become a patron of the choir – the support goes to the Fundació Abadia de Montserrat, for music education and the daily singing in the basilica.
Montserrat, Catalonia
An hour from Barcelona, a mountain rises from the plain like an organ of stone. On its slope, more than seven hundred metres above sea level, stands the Benedictine abbey of Montserrat, and in its basilica sings the Escolania, as it has for seven centuries – one of the oldest music schools in Europe, recorded in documents as early as the fourteenth century.
It began with a visit. The singing heard in the basilica at midday stays with you longer than the road back down. That memory led to talks with the Fundació Abadia de Montserrat (the Montserrat Abbey Foundation).

The energy we deal in usually takes the form of a cargo and a contract. At Montserrat it takes the form of a voice.
