Escolonia de El Escorial is a choir of around 50 children who reside and receive academic and musical training in the Royal Monestary of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

 

The Escolanos receive a very extensive musical training. In addition to voice and singing techniques, they study musical language, instruments, and the history of music. The chorale ensemble is assisted by the professors of the Conservatory: P. Antonio Soler and the Augustinian community.

 

The choir only holds a handful of annual concerts in Spain and abroad. Amongst those is the Christmas celebration at the Basilica of the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
