As part of its endeavours to contribute to fostering culture at its highest levels of expression, the Princess of Asturias Foundation created a Music Department in 1983 which was to give rise, one year later, to the Choir. Considered an outstanding amateur ensemble, with the passing of time and thanks to the effort of its conductors and members, it has achieved welldeserved national and international prestige. Since its creation, it has given over a thousand concerts in Spain and around the world.
As part of the ongoing mission of this initiative to harvest the traditional love of Asturians for choral music at its highest level through constant educational undertakings, the Youth Choir was created in 1988 and the Children's Choir in 1990, both being active until March 2020.
It undertook the International Music School project, aimed at organizing masterclasses and summer courses attended by students from different parts of the world, between 2005 and 2019. Classes were taught by a distinguished teaching staff, while the School included among its visiting professors some of the most celebrated musicians worldwide.
