Formed in 1933 – the inaugural year of the Festival of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino – under the guidance of Andrea Morosini, the Coro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino is one of the most prestigious Italian vocal ensembles across both opera and symphonic repertoire. The chorus has also explored the fields of chamber and contemporary music, giving important premiere performances of works by Penderecki, Dallapiccola, Petrassi, Nono and Bussotti. In recent years the chorus has expanded its repertoire to include major choral symphonies, classical and modern works, and has participated in international tours both as an independent ensemble and with the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. The willingness and ability to interpret works of different periods and styles in their original language have made the Coro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino one of the most flexible and appreciated ensembles of conductors and international critics.
