The Polish Radio Choir at the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Lusławice is one of Poland’s leading vocal ensembles. It brings together outstanding singers who combine youthful energy with experience and interpretative refinement. Founded in 1948, the choir has spent more than 75 years performing both a cappella repertoire and large-scale vocal-instrumental works, while continually shaping its own distinctive artistic voice.
The ensemble develops projects exploring the relationships between sound, body, and space, performing early music, traditional songs, and contemporary works, while also reaching for inspirations to jazz. A central focus of its activity is Polish music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The choir has given numerous world premieres of works by composers including Krzysztof Penderecki, Witold Lutosławski, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, and Wojciech Kilar, and continues to work with leading composers.
The choir appears at prestigious festivals in Poland and abroad and works regularly with the country’s leading orchestras. In 2025, at the invitation of the Philharmonie Luxembourg, the ensemble performed in Luxembourg and Brussels, presenting a concert version of Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer under the baton of Tarmo Peltokoski.
Since October 2025, the choir’s Artistic Director has been Dawid Ber.
