One could trace back Choral singing at St. Benedict’s to the early years of the 20th.Century when La Sallian Christian brother expatriates from Europe inculcated in the local staff and student bodies , an appreciation of Choral singing.

Their versatility and the variety of repertoire they face can be seen in the different projects they have taken part in: short operas, official or private events, festivals, and monographic Concerts on different subjects. A few instances of the choir’s late activity are the following: - Several Concerts in Moscow in December 2006, as guests of the Spanish Embassy. - P...    less
