The ensemble is celebrated both nationally and internationally for excellent Musical interpretations originating in its quest for the deepest sources of inspiration: from lyrics, through harmony, texture and form, to individual feelings of the conductor and choristers.
The Choir was established in 2005 by Bartosz Michałowski, a long-time assistant to Prof. Stefan Stuligrosz, founder of the famous "Poznan Nightingales" Boys´ and Men´s Choir of the Poznan Philharmonic.

Winner of Grand Prix Awards at major Choir competitions (2006, 2007 and 2010), the ensemble has also earned a number of special prizes... less
