The cantata "La Vida Vence a la Muerte" (Life Defeats Death) is a moving tribute to two young people, Rodrigo Rojas de Negri and Carmen Gloria Quintana, who were doused with gasoline and set on fire in Santiago, Chile, in 1986 by an army patrol. Carmen survived-and will be present at the event to share with us some of her story. After nearly 30 years, the perpetrators were finally charged for these heinous crimes in 2015.
The chorus will also be singing other songs related to the times of the coup and the years of the dictatorship.
