In the following years, from 1997 to 2000, the choir focuses its training on PLAAYS of the Middle Age and the Rennaisance managing to get an instrumental group that is added tO its name: “Instrumental Chamber and Chapel Santa María Choir”
The popularity of the choir causes its increasing in members from 18 to 35 in a few years, forcing the group to change their musical style so that it leaves the instrumental chapel and takes the current form.
