The idea is that we go on an imginary Singing Safari collecting exotic songs from around the world. The Singing Safari began at the Warwick Folk Festival in 2006, and continued in 2011 when Chris moved to Suffolk. The winter safari ends in a shared concert in Ipswich, and the summer safari is a free half hour performance outdoors. Each safari learns about eight songs in 3- and 4-part harmony.  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.

Conducted by the Luxembourg native Pierre Cao, the Choir is now considered to be among the best in Europe. Using a flexible formation, ranging up to 32 singers, Arsys explores all choral repertoire, both a cappella and accompanied, from early music – Renaissance, Baroque, Classical – through Romantic and 20th century music to that of the present day. As an enthusiastic advocate of modern repertoire, Arsys regularly commissions new works by living composers. Conductor Pierre Cao, very attentive to the historical context of each era, sculpts the text of each work with patience and humanity, giving Arsys its unique sound unanimously acclaimed by professionals and public alike:”The sound of this Choir is of incredible homogeneity and clarity: perfect intonation, respect of the vocal line and diction, dynamics, and a particular emphasis on the words, which bestows increased life...    less
