This professional choir is renowned for its versatile performances that span a wide range of musical eras and styles, from the Renaissance to contemporary works. Throughout its history, the Coro Gulbenkian has distinguished itself by collaborating with leading orchestras and conductors around the world, showcasing a repertoire that is as diverse as it is rich, encompassing sacred music, opera, and symphonic works.

Recent releases by the Coro Gulbenkian underscore its mastery and dedication to exploring complex classical works, with performances of Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s sacred compositions, Giacomo Carissimi’s baroque masterpieces, and operatic ventures such as Verdi's "Otello."
