Koro Ilustrado, a Makati City-based all-male choral ensemble, was formed in October 2007 by a group of choral enthusiasts with a vision to become the country's premiere all-male chorale, showcasing the best of the Filipino: excellence, discipline and a flair for entertainment.

A member of the Madz et al network of choirs and an artist of the Jesuit Communications Foundation inc., Koro Ilustrado is composed of men who had extensive backgrounds in choral singing through their college, church and community/parish choir experiences.

The group has launched two albums under the Jesuit Communications Foundation label and won an award for Best Performance by a New Group Recording Artist category in the 27th Awit Awards in 2014.
