The present choirmaster Henryk Wojnarowski has held this position since 1978. In its wide repertoire the choir has more than 150 oratorios and choral works, ranging from the middle ages to contemporary music. Each year the choir collaborates in some ten symphony and oratorio concerts with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. These concerts constitute the most important part of its artistic activity. The choir also performs regularly at the Warsaw Autumn Festival and in Wrocław at the Wratislavia Cantans Festival. Polish music, in particular works of Krzysztof Penderecki, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and Wojciech Kilar, is a very important part of the choir’s repertoire. The choir has performed all Penderecki’s oratorios and a cappella works, the Polish Requiem, Passio secundum Lucam, Te Deum, Utrenja, Psalms of David, Dies irae, Veni Creator, Cheruwimska Piesn, St Luke Passion, Seven Gates of Jerusalem, and Credo, as well as his opera Paradise Lost. The choir performs not only in Warsaw but also in other Polish cities, and is also very active internationally, with appearances throughout Europe, as well as in Israel and in Turkey.
