Honorary conduction: Jesús López Cobos † and Krzysztof Penderecki †.
In 1983 the Princess of Asturias Foundation formed a polyphonic group that whilst fostering the traditional love of the people of Asturias for choral music, would elevate it to its greatest heights. To achieve this, the group has risen to the most demanding challenges, interpreting works not only from the region's musical realm - some of which was composed exclusively after being commissioned by the Foundation - but also from the broad repertoire that is part of Humanity's joint heritage.
Conducted by José Esteban García Miranda, the Princess of Asturias Foundation Choir is regarded as one of the most important amateur groups in Europe and its prestige is world-renowned. Since its inception, Jesús López Cobos, 1981 Prince of Asturias Laureate for the Arts, was the honorary conductor of the Choir until his death in 2018, a position he shared with Krzysztof Penderecki, who received the same Award in 2001. In December 2007, the European Parliament recognised the Choir with a special honour "for its outstanding services for the European Union".
