Soneto de la Noche夜的詩篇 巴勃魯．聶魯達(Pablo Neruda, 1904-1973)，是智利的外交官詩人--內夫塔利．里卡多．雷耶斯．巴索阿爾托（Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto）的筆名，1971年諾貝爾文學獎的得主。這首詩選自他1959年的作品「愛的14行詩一百首」(Cien Sonetos de Amor)的第89首，為一首纏綿的西班牙情歌。它的格式屬於歐洲14行詩，第一段4行，第二段4行，第三段3行 ，第四段3行，在第九行的地方開始轉折。 此曲的旋律衍生自一首安靜而熱情的智利民謠。不同於其他樂章，...    less

"Choral music is a perfect example that something can equal more than the sum of its parts. By working together, we can do amazing things. In a time of divided ideologies, global uncertainty, and in a place like Chicago where entire neighborhoods can be overcome by violence and hopelessness, what better antidote than choral music to bring people together and make them a bit happier?" - Mark Tomasino, Founder & Artistic Director  less
