The Mateo Guerra Chamber Choir is made up of members of the Gran Canaria Philharmonic Orchestra Choir, with the intention of addressing a repertoire different from the great choral symphonic works. It debuted in 2000 in the Church of San Francisco, under the direction of M. Lukasz Mazur.

That same year, now with Luis García, the choir participated in the Christmas Cycle in Agaete and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and in 2002 offered a program dedicated to the Renaissance entitled The golden age of Polyphony in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Agaete, Valleseco, Santa Brígida, La Aldea and other towns on the island, as well as in Puerto de la Cruz and Nevers (France).

Since then it has offered programs of differentiated styles such as Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle, Liszt’s Via Crucis, Brahms’ Liebeslieder Walzer, Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, Fauré’s Requiem in its original version, Bach cantatas, as well as works by Schubert, Tavener , Schnittke, Duruflé, Messiaen or Rutter, among others.

In 2011 it made its debut at the Temudas Fest with the Requiem of Fauré and Duruflé. In 2012 it starred in a new concert for the Philharmonic Society in tribute to Saint-Saëns with various choral works, concertantes and the Christmas Oratorio. In 2013 it participated in the Religious Music Series of the Canary Islands, as well as in the II Cycle of Historical Organs in San Juan de Telde.
In 2015 and 2016 it participated in the IBF with the passions of Saint Matthew and Saint John and the Easter Oratorio by J. S. Bach, under the direction of M. Gieler.
