Rock Choir Co-Director Jordi Porta's List of Life's Essentials

Jordi Porta, co-director of the Rock Choir in Encamp, has shared his list of life's essentials in a recent feature.

Born 50 years ago in La Seu d'Urgell, Porta now lives in Andorra la Vella. He teaches music at the Andorran School, where he leads innovative choral projects.

For Porta, music stands as a vital force that nourishes the soul and transforms personal feelings into shared emotions. Nature offers profound inspiration, helping to rediscover direction during uncertain times.

He emphasises physical well-being through activities such as walking, skiing, or cycling. As a teacher, he views the role as a daily challenge: educators guide students by example, while learning from them fosters personal growth.

Mental health, in his opinion, thrives on meditation, gratitude, and compassion for others—the simplest route to happiness. Travel broadens horizons by revealing diverse cultures and the world's variety.

True friends provide companionship in quiet moments, laughter, and lasting memories. Dreams act as an unseen drive, sparking excitement and purpose each day.

Family forms a core pillar for sharing joy, gaining support, and building trust. Finally, cooking and eating bring pleasure by blending familiar flavours with new discoveries.
