Spain's Correos Issues Christmas Stamp Honouring Andorra's Petits Cantors

Correos, Spain's postal service, has issued a Christmas stamp honouring the Petits Cantors d'Andorra in a run of 45,000 copies, each with a face value of €0.96.

The Catalan-language outlet Altaveu reported that the issue celebrates the children's choir as one of the Principality's most emblematic youth choral groups and as a fixture of Andorran Christmas celebrations. The stamp highlights the role of choral singing as a vehicle for cultural transmission, education and solidarity, and its contribution to the country's cultural and festive life.

According to the report, the philatelic release pays tribute to a musical occasion closely tied to the Andorran Christmas season, symbolising the continuity of that tradition and the passing of culture through music.

The choir has given concerts in cultural and educational venues across the country over the years, establishing itself as a reference point for children's choral music. Its repertoire ranges from traditional carols and classical songs to more contemporary compositions. Children's choirs in Andorra also take part in charitable initiatives and community activities, linking music to values such as generosity and closeness.

Correos has said the issue is intended to showcase the role of choral music in Andorran culture and to promote the country's traditions through stamp collecting.

The stamp can be purchased at the Correos office in Andorra la Vella, through the Correos Market online platform, by contacting the philatelic service at atcliente.filatelia@correos.com or by calling 915 197 197.
