	'''Cappella Sanctae Catharinae''' ~~are Malta’s only~~ male choir~~. It concentrates mostly on Italian~~ Renaissance and Early Baroque polyphony, especially the works of Giovanni ~~Pierluigi da~~ Palestrina, Tomás Luis de Victoria, and Lodovico Viadana. Cappella Sanctae Catharinae was formed in 2009 as a chamber choir specialising in Renaissance polyphony. The choir started off as a performance project tied to the concert series held regularly at the Church of St Catherine of Italy in Valletta. Following positive critical acclaim, the original members decided to make the choir a permanent group. Although the choir has only been a year in existence, it has already established itself in the Maltese cultural scene with a number of concerts to its credit.		'''Cappella Sanctae Catharinae''' was formed in 2009 as an all male chamber choir specialising in Renaissance and Early Baroque polyphony, especially the works of Giovanni Luigi de Palestrina (1526-1594 - Palestrina), Tomás Luis de Victoria (c.1548 – 20 August 1611), Francesco Foggia (17 November 1603 – 8 January 1688) and other Italian composers.

	~~The Cappella Sanctae Catharinae has performed in various venues across Malta including the Carmelite Church in Mdina, St Paul’s Anglican cathedral~~, and the parish church of St. Catherine in Żejtun. It is also the choir’s policy to utilise as much as possible the multitude of churches around Malta not only to reach out more into the community, but also to give a sense of the effect of the music’s original setting.
