The Sonos Ensemble was founded by Dr. Dario Paolini in 2001. Dr. Paolini is both organist and choir director at Ss. Trinità dei Pellegrini. He received his first degree in organ and organ composition, and later his doctorate from the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music. On the Roman musical scene, he is well known as an accomplished organist and choir director. His training at the Pontifical Institute has also made him one of the best performers and directors of Gregorian chant in Rome. His versatility also means that he is a chief cantor in Gregorian chant. His fellow singers in the Sonos Ensemble are also graduated from the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music and specialised in this field. The support of the Nando Peretti Foundation has meant that these musicians have been able to refine their expertise in sacred music by virtue of continuous first hand contact and involvement with the liturgical context for which it was written.
In conclusion, all over Europe significant sponsorship is behind the conservation and restoration of church architecture and other religious art, paintings, sculpture, etc. The situation with sacred music, however, is different. It often finds sponsorship for study and execution when it is abstracted from its original religious function and presented as a concert program.
The Nando Peretti Foundation has taken a ground braking step in supporting this project, because the Foundation is supporting sacred music as a functioning art form still connected with the force which inspired it, that means reconnected with its religious dimension. Thanks to the Nando Peretti Foundation, sacred music is being preserved together with architecture and other visual arts within a living religious context. Reconnecting this art form with the world which generated it is making a number of contributions to the cultural life of Rome and the world beyond; it is helping musicians and musicologists understand the liturgical origins and inspiration of sacred music; it is nurturing the spiritual and cultural life of a wide public both in Rome and elsewhere; it is demonstrating that sacred music together with the visual arts deserves patronage and sponsorship in a way that permits it to remain connected to, and vitalized by, its religious milieu.

The Program will start in January 2013 and will be completed by December 2013, with a rich sequence of performance of polyphonic music from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries which will be executed by Dr. Dario Paolini and the Sonos Ensemble during the Sunday liturgies.
