Athestis Chorus is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 1990 in Bergamo, Italy. The ensemble is known for its exceptional performances of choral music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, as well as contemporary works. The founding members of Athestis Chorus were a group of young musicians who shared a passion for choral music. They were led by their conductor, Filippo Maria Bressan, who had a vision of creating a world-class ensemble that would showcase the beauty and complexity of choral music to audiences around the world. From the beginning, Athestis Chorus was committed to excellence in performance. The ensemble spent countless hours rehearsing and perfecting their craft, and their hard work paid off. In 1992, just two years after their founding, Athestis Chorus won first prize in the prestigious Guido d'Arezzo International Polyphonic Competition. This early success set the stage for a long and illustrious career for Athestis Chorus. Over the years, the ensemble has performed in some of the world's most renowned concert halls, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Berlin Philharmonic. One of the highlights of Athestis Chorus's career was their performance at the 2006 Salzburg Festival. The festival is one of the most prestigious classical music events in the world, and Athestis Chorus was honored to be invited to perform. Their performance of Bach's Mass in B Minor was hailed as a triumph, and cemented the ensemble's reputation as one of the finest choral groups in the world. In addition to their performances, Athestis Chorus has also recorded several albums. Their recordings of works by Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi have received critical acclaim, and have helped to introduce the ensemble to a wider audience. Throughout their career, Athestis Chorus has remained committed to their mission of promoting choral music. They have worked with young musicians and choirs, and have organized workshops and masterclasses to help develop the next generation of choral performers. Today, Athestis Chorus continues to perform and record, and their reputation as one of the world's finest choral ensembles remains undiminished. Their commitment to excellence and their passion for choral music have made them a beloved institution in the classical music world, and their legacy will continue to inspire and delight audiences for generations to come.
