The director of La Escolanía "Santo Domingo Savio" de Santander was Carlos María Labarta. The choir was organized in 1967. Labarta was a charter member. After a brief period as organista and auxiliary director, Labarta became the director. The choir performed not only in Cantabria, but in many other places in Spain. In Cantabria there were numerous concerts in the Plaza Porticada, as part of the Festival Internacional de Santander. An important perfirmance was at the opening of Misa Polifónica Cántabra by composer M. A. Samperio, in 1982. Outside Cantabria the concerts were diverse: Madrid, Barcelona, Salamanca, Ávila, Burgos, San Sebastián. The Choir wpn twice the First National Prize of Infantile Choirs of
RTVE (1976 and 1979). Its more important success was at the the Slovakian city of Bratislava, where in 1979 it won the Prize to the best technique of
song, prize to the best solista and the classification in second place, in a contest in which about 50 European choirs participated. The choir closed in 1993.
