In its beginnings, it was configured as a Chamber Choir focused on the study and interpretation of classical polyphony and, throughout its trajectory, it has been incorporating to its repertoire works of all styles and of all times, from music of Eastern countries, Sephardic songs and popular titles to film music, musicals and polyphonic scores of contemporary composers.

In 1992, the Choir was constituted as a non-profit Cultural Association, with the aim of promoting the study and practice of quality polyphonic choral music. It has offered concerts in various cities throughout Spain and has participated in competitions, exchanges and international meetings, taking the name of the city beyond our borders, leaving evidence of its high musical level. It has to its credit with the 2011 Torre Almenara award and was awarded the prize ‘Esteponero del Año 2012’ awarded by the Rotary International Club.

Its chief conductor, Miguel Ángel Garrido Sánchez, professor emeritus of the Manuel Carra Professional Conservatory in Malaga, currently devotes his activity to conducting choirs, thus continuing a long career in the teaching of polyphonic choral music, which he combines with his activity as an organist.
