The Xiquets Cantors Divisi from Valencia, Spain belongs to the famous Divisi Choral school, where every year more than two hundred voices are trained in five different choirs, three for children and two for adults. The group visiting Macedonia this time is formed mainly of children between ten and seventeen years old, along with the support of several female voices, also from the adult Divisi choirs. During its twenty years of life, XCD has performed concerts all over Spain and other countries, such as Italy, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Romania and Taiwan, among others. XCD does not apply any selection criteria, accepting any person who is willing to sing—it is the responsibility of the teachers and conductors to model every voice to obtain the best from every singer. All musical styles are a part of the repertory of XCD.
Xiquets Cantors Divisi has won several prizes, foremost being the First Prize at the Young Habaneras Festival in Torrevieja (Alicante, Spain). The group is conducted by Professor José Vicente De Sousa, an expert in musical education and author of many compositions and didactic material. The Romanian Professor Madalina Morariu is in charge of the vocalization of the group and Professor Gema Morales is the piano accompanist.
