The Harmonia Cantata choir was founded in 1977 by M° Elio Lippi.
It started its activity at the Music School of Fiesole, and became an independent Choral Association in 1997.
Today, M° Raffaele Puccianti is the Director of the choir, and M° Elio Lippi is its Artistic Director.
By placing a strong focus on the study of music, and thanks to the great attention dedicated to developing the vocal qualities of all singers, "Harmonia Cantata" has taken up to a distinctive role among the several amateur choral groups of Tuscany.
The choir has participated in many important events, such as the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the Estate Fiesolana, the Accademia Musicale Chigiana, the Accademia Filarmonica Romana, and has worked with the Orchestra Giovanile Italiana and the Orchestra della Toscana (ORT).
The choir's repertoire ranges from the 18th century to contemporary music - including several first ever performances - and includes also opera.
In its thirty years of activity, the choir has been directed by important conductors.
Among others: Salvatore Accardo, Piero Bellugi, Federico Cortese, Claudio Desderi, Roberto Gabbiani, Eliahu Inbal, Lu Jia, Nicola Paszkowzki, Alessio Vlad and, as part of the Choir of Tuscany, also Bruno Bartoletti, René Clemencic, Massimo De Bernart, Ferdinand Leitner, Peter Maag, Michael Morgan, Marcello Panni and Gennady Rozhdestvensky.
