SAT CHOIR
Among their merits are that of having brought the Trentino alpine choral tradition to the attention and appreciation of an international audience. The choir’s performances of works arranged by great musicians have made them popular even outside the folk music scene.

ENROSADIRA CHOIR
Founded in 1981 in Moena, they are dedicated in particular to the study and performance of traditional Ladin songs. Special mention should therefore be made of the Enrosadira Choir’s participation in the recording of Louis Canori’s opera Laurin, under the direction of the Ladin Cultural Institute.
Val di Fiemme Rifugio Lusia
CORO NEGRITELLA
The Negritella choir hails from Predazzo, has over 50 years of history behind it, and so, of course, acts as ambassador for the traditions of the Val di Fiemme. Although very involved in solidarity initiatives, its activities have always been built around the friendships that exist between its young and not so young members.
Altopiano della Paganella, Rifugio La Roda
Since their formation in 1965 they have been dedicated to collecting and reviving Trentino folklore. Members come from the villages located around the Sanctuary of St. Romedio, from which the choir has taken its name.

SASS MAOR CHOIR
Their activities go back to 1974, since when they have specialised in collecting and conserving the traditions of the Valle di Primiero, from where its members originate. The Sass Maor Choir took part in a performance of Giorgio Battistelli’s original composition Vijiades (Visions) for "Sounds of the Dolomites".
Val di Sole, Cevedale, Rifugio Larcher
SASSO ROSSO CHOIR
Starting out in the Val di Sole in 1967, they draw on a heritage of the most authentic folk songs in Trentino and indeed the entire Alpine region. Firmly rooted in the historical folk song tradition they are noted for their work with musicians who share their sentiments and their close ties with the territory.
