Encore Performance of La Vida Vence a la Muerte (Life Defeats Death)
The cantata, written by Fernando "Fena" Torres and Leonardo Cereceda, 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. Rodrigo died four days later from his injuries, but 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 arrested and charged in Chile with these heinous crimes on July 21, 2015.
The chorus will also be singing other songs related to the times of the coup and the years of the dictatorship written by Chilean composers Victor Jara, Rafael Manriquez and many others.
About La Pena Community Chorus:
Started by the Chilean exile community who founded La Pena Cultural Center in Berkeley in 1975, the Chorus' mission was one of solidarity with the resistance against the dictatorship in Chile. Over the years the focus has expanded to other countries, including the struggles of people in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico, Cuba, and to various labor, community, and women's struggles closer to home.
