La Colombina

La Colombina is a vocal ensemble specialising in music from the Renaissance and the early Baroque. It was founded in 1990 by four singers who also developed their own solo careers: María Cristina Kiehr (soprano), Claudio Cavina (alto), Josep Benet (tenor) and Josep Cabré (baritone). Since 2003 it consists of Raquel Andueza (soprano), José Hernández Pastor (altus), Josep Benet (tenor) and Josep Cabré (baritone). The repertoire consists mainly of music by Spanish composers, with occasional attention also given to French or Italian music.
The name of the group is derived from the manuscript Cancionero de la Colombina which is preserved in the cathedral of Sevilla in the Biblioteca de la Colombina.
