Who we are...

A choir composed exclusively of male voices, founded in January 1999, dedicated to the study, dissemination, and interpretation of Gregorian chant and the medieval sacred repertoire, with an emphasis on the stylistic fidelity and intrinsic spirituality of this ancient tradition. With work based on original liturgical sources, the group seeks to revive the sonic atmosphere of the great medieval abbeys and cathedrals, offering audiences a musical experience of retreat, beauty, and contemplation
 
Since March 1999, the date of its first public performance, Psalterium has given numerous recitals of Gregorian chant and polyphony for equal voices, as well as livening up liturgical celebrations (Mass and Vespers) in Gregorian chant and Hispanic chant. The choir also performs other types of sacred choral repertoire, both classical and contemporary polyphony.
 
Among many other events, the Capela Gregoriana Psalterium participated in the II and III Gregorian Chant Meetings in Bragança (2001 and 2003), and gave recitals as part of the Gregorian Study Weeks (2000, 2002, and 2009) and the Gregorian Chant Workshops in Évora (2003 and 2009). In October 2000, it traveled abroad for the first time, at the invitation of the Brazilian Federal Government, together with the Choir of the Monastery of Olinda (Recife), to participate in a recital in the Salão Negro of the Senate in Brasília, in the context of the 500th anniversary of the Charter of the Discovery of Brazil, by Pêro Vaz de Caminha. In May 2010, it gave the inaugural concert of the Festas do Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres in Ponta Delgada. In December 2016 he went to Rome, where he sang the Mass of Feria VI of the First Week of Advent in the Vatican St. Peter's Basilica.
