Coro de Câmara de Lisboa is a celebrated Portuguese vocal ensemble dedicated to preserving and performing choral works with a focus on sacred music, Portuguese composers, and folk traditions. Founded in 1964 by conductor and composer Fernando Lopes-Graça, the group has become a cornerstone of Portugal’s early music revival, specializing in Renaissance polyphony, Baroque masterpieces, and 20th-century choral works. Their repertoire often highlights overlooked gems of Iberian sacred music, including composers like Marcos Portugal and Dom Pedro de Cristo, while also embracing contemporary voices like Eurico Carrapatoso.
Known for their crisp a cappella performances and collaborations with orchestras, the choir balances liturgical rigor with warm, expressive delivery. Recent projects, like their explorations of Portuguese folk songs and Christmas-themed albums, showcase their versatility and commitment to cultural storytelling. Whether reviving forgotten Masses or breathing life into regional folk melodies, Coro de Câmara de Lisboa remains a vital bridge between Portugal’s rich musical past and its living traditions.
