SAO PAULO SYMPHONY CHORUS The combination of a group of singers that have a solid musical training with Naomi Munakata, one of the major Brazilian conductors, gives The São Paulo Symphony Choir particular importance in the musical life of Brazil. The choir tackles the great works of the choral-symphonic repertoire and also performs a cappella in concerts at the Sala São Paulo and across the state, in repertoire drawn from various periods, with an emphasis on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and the works of Brazilian composers such as Almeida Prado, Aylton Escobar, Gilberto Mendes, Francisco Mignone and Heitor Villa-Lobos. In 2009 The São Paulo Symphony Choir made its first recording, Cancoes do Brasil (Songs of Brazil), and in 2013 it recorded choral works by the Brazilian composer Aylton Escobar (São Paulo Symphony Orchestra Digital Label).
