Founded in 1969 by a group of music enthusiasts in Genoa, Italy, the ensemble has become one of the most renowned choirs in the country. The founding members of the ensemble were a group of friends who shared a passion for music and singing. They decided to form a choir that would focus on performing polyphonic music, which is characterized by multiple voices singing different melodies at the same time. The group was initially made up of 12 members, but it quickly grew in size as more people became interested in joining. Over the years, the ensemble has had many talented members, but some of the most notable include the current conductor, Maestro Marco Berrini, and the former conductor, Maestro Giuseppe Garbarino. Both of these conductors have played a significant role in shaping the sound and style of the choir. One of the highlights of the ensemble's history was their performance at the Vatican in 1985. The choir was invited to perform for Pope John Paul II during a special mass, and their performance was met with great acclaim. This performance helped to establish the choir's reputation as one of the best in Italy. In addition to their performance at the Vatican, the ensemble has also performed at many other prestigious venues and events. They have performed at the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa, the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, and the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, among others. They have also toured extensively throughout Italy and Europe, performing in countries such as France, Germany, and Spain. The ensemble has received many awards and accolades over the years. In 1973, they won first prize at the International Choral Competition in Arezzo, Italy. They have also won numerous awards at other competitions, including the Concorso Polifonico Guido d'Arezzo and the Concorso Polifonico Internazionale di Riva del Garda.
