We are an auditioned Chamber Choir of 30-40 members who love sharing the joy of choral singing with each other and our community. Our regular season consists of at least 4 concerts featuring a variety of musical genres and styles. Because we seek to create meaningful musical experiences, we value interaction and education in our performances.

Sa Nuit d’Été他的夏夜 萊納．瑪利亞．里爾克(Rainer Maria Rilke，1875－1926)是一位重要的德語詩人，除了創作德語詩歌外還撰寫小說、劇本以及一些雜文和法語詩歌，其書信集也是里爾克文學作品的一個重要組成部分。對19世紀末的詩歌裁體和風格以及歐洲頹廢派文學都有深厚的影響。 此曲一開始，鋼琴即以不協和的音響迅速地營造了夜晚神秘而詭譎的氣氛。接著合唱一步一步地將不同詩句的主題帶進來，這些主題最後相互交織碰撞，燦爛輝煌，彷彿愛情的火花迸放！ Si je pourrais avec mes mains brûlantes f...    less

The evangelist tells the story, arias convey the inner feelings of us humans as we gaze upon the Golgotha scene and choruses and chorales reflect on our own place in the drama. Bach's incredible work of art stands alone in its complete telling of the crucifixion story in a manner which stirs and moves the soul of the performer and listener. This is a mountaintop experience not to be missed.  less

Performed by the Chamber Singers ensemble of The Girl Choir of South Florida on May 18, 2012, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson. Translation (Romanian): Sun and stars, many tiny ones A game of light on the mountain peak, The snow has melted easily, It flows clearly towards the spring. The warm wind carried the spring, The doe once again leaps through the valleys. She drinks from the pure, crystal river That pours itself smoothly into the sea; Springtime is fully born, The sea is rising, waves with foam, Migratory birds are gathering, A siren sings sweetly to them, "la da lo ..."  less

Treib, Herr, von uns ferndie unreinen Geister, Halt die Nachtwacht gern,sei selbst unser Schutzherr! Schirm beid Leib und Seel' Unter deine Flügel, send uns dein Engel! Laß uns einschlafenmit gu-ten Gedanen, fröhlich aufwachenund von dir nicht wanken; Laß uns mit Züchten Unser Tun und Dichten Zu deim Preis richten! 夜曲 夜晚來臨，該是我們休息之時； 上主無所不在，以祂的良善美意保佑著我們。 我們躺臥， 在祂不變的祝福之下， 平安永存。 主啊，使我們遠離不淨的靈魂 助我們守夜，做我們的守護者！ 庇蔭我們的軀體和靈魂， ...    less
