Concert of the SAT Choir
Concert of mountain songs with the S.A.T. Choir of Trento on the occasion of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games
The S.A.T. Choir was founded in Trento in 1926: in fact, the first official performance of the choir with the name Coro della S.O.S.A.T. dates back to May 25 of that year, which it maintained until the early 1930s.
The founders and animators were the brothers Enrico, Mario, Silvio, and Aldo Pedrotti who, inspired by the then president of SOSAT Nino Peterlongo, along with a progressively growing group of friends, invented a new way of singing and interpreting the heritage of tradition and folk culture. The artistic initiative quickly attracted the attention of the music world, so much so that almost immediately collaboration began with musicians such as Luigi Pigarelli and Antonio Pedrotti: they had the great merit of understanding the creativity and innovative interpretation of the choir, skillfully enhancing them from a technical standpoint.
In over 98 years of activity, the SAT Choir has performed approximately 2000 concerts in many Italian cities and several European capitals, even reaching across the ocean, bringing its message to Canada, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea. It has a vast discography - the first recordings date back to 1933 - which today includes over 250 songs.
Of course, the choir has gradually renewed its human heritage for demographic reasons; however, despite the inevitable physical changes, the SAT Choir continues on the path laid out by the founders, maintaining unchanged the sound and spirit, continually absorbed by new members through an assimilation process that draws on a valuable cultural, artistic, and human heritage.
Leading the choir will be the director Mauro Pedrotti and the deputy director Fiorella Monsorno.
