38-članski zbor El León de Oro je bil ustanovljen leta 1996. V svoji kratki zgodovini je osvojil številne nagrade na domačih in tujih tekmovanjih. Dvakrat so osvojili prvo mesto na državnem zborovskem tekmovanju (v letih 2003 in 2006) in se predstavili na koncertih v Franciji, Bolgariji, Belgiji, na Švedskem, v Združenih državah Amerike, Maroku in na Sardiniji. Zbor se redno udeležuje mednarodnih zborovskih tekmovanj v sklopu Velike zborovske nagrade Evrope (Tours, Varna, Tolosa in Arezzo). Nagrade so prejeli v Varni (2005) in Tolosi (2006), vendar za svoj največji dosežek štejejo veliko nagrado mesta Arezzo na 56. mednarodnem tekmovanju Guido d’Arezzo septembra 2008. Prejeli so prvo nagrado v vseh kategorijah, v katerih so nastopili. Zbor je dobil tudi nagrado Guidoneum 2011, prihodnje leto pa bo sodeloval na tekmovanju v Tolosi.

Founded in 1996, El León de Oro is an outstanding 38-voiced choir from the Asturian region of Spain. In its short history it has achieved a remarkable reputation demostrated by numerous awards within Spain and abroad. On two occasions El León de Oro won the Spanish National Choral Contest (2003 and 2006). At the international level, it has given concerts in France (2004, 2006), Bulgaria (2005) and Belgium (2007), and has toured Sweden (2004), the USA (2006), and most recently Morocco (2008) and Sardinia-Italy (2009). The chorus regularly participates in the choral contests of the European Grand Prix Circuit for Choral Singing (so far, Tours, Varna, Tolosa and Arezzo). Even if it won most valuable prizes in Varna (2005) and Tolosa (2006), the greatest international achievement of El León de Oro so far took place in the 56th International Polyphonic Contest ‘Guido d’Arezzo’, held in Arezzo in September 2008. There the choir won First Prize in all of the participating categories and was awarded the ‘Città di Arezzo’ Grand Prix. Most recently, the choir has been given the ‘Guidoneum Award’ 2011, and next autumn it will participate in this year’s edition of Tolosa’s Contest.
