The Choir Il Pomo d’Oro was created in 2021 and made its first public appearance together with the orchestra during a concert tour and the recording of Handel’s Oratorio ‘Theodora’. Led by chorus master Giuseppe Maletto, it reunites a group of singers with a long and outstanding expertise in the performance of early Italian music, in particular madrigals by Monteverdi and Gesualdo, but also in the great repertoire of sacred music by Monteverdi, Cavalli, Gabrieli and Gesualdo.

The first solo album of the Choir Il Pomo d’Oro is entirely dedicated to the first book of Carlo Gesualdo’s Sacrae Cantiones, an early 17th century masterpiece of sacred motets on penitential texts. Next projects of the chorus together with the orchestra include oratorios by Handel and works by Carissimi and Purcell, as well as a recording of early Italian Christmas music.
