The Choir is composed by children between 7 to 18, all directed by their conductor, Asun Lopez. Although their trajectory is short they have much encouragement to learn and improve. In 2009, they federated in the Bizkaia´s Choir Federation (BAE) and so they did their first performance in public. Since then, they have decided to continue participing everywhere they can, because it enriches them in their musical konwledge. In 2010 they won the second prize in the National Contest of Carols of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. In 2012 they took part in Europa Cantat Festival, celebrated in Torino (Italy).  less

What have we done? We shall meet in heaven This outdoor performance was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a Choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  less

此曲原由阿根廷的流行音樂作曲家法飛洛（A. Favero），根據烏拉圭著名詩人班奈戴提（M. Benedetti）所寫的情詩而作，由康吉安諾（L. Cangiano）改編寫成無伴奏混聲合唱曲，以厚實多變的和聲表現歌詞中深情呼喚至愛的誠摯情感。 我愛你，你是我的至愛，我的密友，我的一切。 當我們手挽著手走過每一條路， 我們就像同一個人一樣的心靈契合； 當你的眼睛凝望著我，整天的鬱悶都將一掃而空。 我愛你，你的身影是我向未來前進的力量。 你的手撫慰了我的心，我每天的思緒， 讓世界上的一切都能...  more此曲原由阿根廷的流行音樂作曲家法飛洛（A.
