'''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 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. Over the past few years, the choir has established itself on the Maltese cultural scene with a number of concerts to its credit.

Cappella Sanctae Catharinae tend to utilise the multitude of churches around Malta as venues for their concerts, because in so doing, the audience is regaled with a sense of the effect of the music’s original setting.

[[File:CSC_logo.jpg|340px|thumb|right|Cappella Sanctae Catharinae]]

'''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.

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.

In 16 November 2012 the choir presented a programme entitled ''O Quam Suavis'', that included Italian polyphony from the 16th and 17 centuries, at the church of Santa Tereża in Bormla. The choir was composed of two cantus, three tenors, four baritones and three basses. Their organist is [[Alex Vella Gregory]], who is also a baritone. Amongst the nine polyphonic harmonies that they sang were ''Ave Regina Caelorum'' by the Ursoline nun Isabella Leonarda (1620-1704 - Novara), ''Salve Regina (terzo)'' by Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643 - Cremona) and ''Alma Redemptoris'' by Palestrina (1526-1594 - Palestrina).

Recently, the choir took part in a concert of Early Music with internationally renowned soprano Dame Emma Kirkby, as well as in the first edition of the [[Valletta International Baroque Festival]]<ref>{{cite news | author=Anthony Hart | title=Valletta International Baroque Festival: Italian sacred polyphony in 17th-century Malta | url=http://www.bachtrack.com/review-valletta-2013-cappella-sanctae-catherinae | work=Bachtrack | date=16 Jan 2013}}</ref>.
