Laus Deo, or Coro Laus Deo et matri dei (f. May 2000 -) is a choir from Central America inspired by the memory of Saint Philip of Italy. With currently 45 singers, Laus Deo has participated in some of Costa Rica's most important scenarios, including concerts at the National Auditorium in San José, colaborations with the University of Austin, Texas, and national televised appearances. The name "Laus Deo", taken from Latin, means "Glory to God in the highest".
