Today it comprises 23 selected singers, Cantilena meaning "lightweight song", deriving from The Latin word for "song" or "melody". Whenever possible, during concerts The members of The Choir wear a pearl necklace to represent The significance of The activities pursued: each member of The Choir is represented by one of The pearls, with The strand linking Them all being The music - The main purpose of so much hard work to achieve artistic quality. As well as being an extremely feminine accessory, it also illustrates The quality, refinement, finish and musical beauty that The Academia Concerto pursues. The formation of groups of like voices in Brazil is not very common and, Therefore, requires constant research to seek out specialised repertoire, both in Brazil and abroad, making appropriate arrangements or adaptations of pieces for ...    less
