The choir was founded in 1945 by conductor and composer Souza Lima, who aimed to create a professional choir that could perform a wide range of choral works, from the Renaissance to contemporary music. The choir's early years were marked by intense rehearsals and performances, as they quickly gained a reputation for their high level of musicianship and technical proficiency. In 1952, the choir performed at the inauguration of the Sao Paulo Municipal Theater, which was a major milestone in their career. This performance was followed by many others, including collaborations with renowned conductors such as Eleazar de Carvalho, Isaac Karabtchevsky, and John Neschling. Over the years, the choir has performed a vast repertoire of choral works, including oratorios, cantatas, masses, and operas. They have also premiered many new works by Brazilian composers, including Osvaldo Lacerda, Camargo Guarnieri, and Gilberto Mendes. One of the choir's most notable performances was their rendition of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which they performed with the Sao Paulo State Symphony Orchestra in 2013.
