The Polifònica de Puig-reig is a choral organization from Puig-Reig in Catalonia that was created in 1968 as Coral Joventut Sardanista (The Sardanista Youth Choir) coming from the Sardanista group of the same name.[1] In 1987 the name changed to Polifònica de Puig-reig. From 1969, Ramon Noguera had served as its director for 46 years, and it is currently co-directed by Emmanuel Niubó and Josep Maria Conangla, the later having been Noguera's assistant director.[2]
From its inception, the choir has carried out a trajectory of growing musical activity that has led it to perform all over Catalonia, Europe and other places around the world.[3] In 1992, Polifònica accompanied the President de la Generalitat de Catalunya on an official trip to Argentina and Chile. Despite being an amateur choir[4], it collaborates with professional choirs, such as the Liceu.[5]
