Coro Nacional de Cuba

The Coro Nacional de Cuba is the national choir of Cuba. It was created in 1960 by Serafín Pro Guardiola as a continuation of the Coro del Ejército Rebelde (Choir of the Rebel Army) that had been founded in 1959. It was initially called the Coro del Teatro Nacional (National Theater of Cuba chorus) and then Coro Polifónico (Polyphonic Choir), until recognition as the National Choir of Cuba. Since 1975 it has been led by the woman conductor Digna Guerra (b. 1945). The choir won Germany's Echo Klassik choral award in 2012.
