Midday today saw the inauguration of the new Montserrat Choir School stairway-museum, which has been subsidised by the infrastructure corporation abertis. The event was attended by the Abbot of Montserrat, Josep M. Soler, who was accompanied by the abertis Managing Director Salvador Alemany, the corporation’s Company Secretary Joan Artur Margenat, the Director of Institutional Relations and Quality Ricard Maxenchs and the Manager of the Fundació Castellet del Foix, Sagrario Huelin, in addition to Josep Sinca, the Director-General of the Fundació Abadia de Montserrat 2025, the Foundation which traditionally receives the subsidies from the corporation.

The new Montserrat Choir School stairway-museum, financed by abertis, features a display of antique instruments belonging to the Choir School –some of them restored– set in Perspex cabinets; there are also frescos on the walls, with motifs taken from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat (the Red Book of Montserrat), as well as reproductions of photographs of altar boys from the end of nineteenth century.

At the foot of the stairs is a plaque commemorating the inauguration of this stairway-museum, unveiled by the Abbot of Montserrat and the Managing Director of abertis.
