The Coro Monti Pallidi is an Italian all-men a cappella chorus from Laives (Italy).

History

[edit]

The choir was founded in Auer, South Tyrol in 1967 by a group of music student, conducted by the maestro Sergio Maccagnan; the first headquarters of the choir was a church in Bronzolo, but very soon they moved to Laives.[1]

In 2005 Paolo Maccagnan, son of Sergio, took over from his father in the conduction of the choir.[2][3]

The repertoire ranges over from Alpini songs to spirituals, from typical Italian popular/traditional music to sacred music.
