| AMU Chamber Choir under the direction of Krzysztof Szydzisz was established in 1992. It consists of students, graduates and young scholars. The choir performs mainly the 19th and 20th century music. The main part of its repertoire consists of Polish contemporary music. Popularising Polish composers on the international forum is one of the main objectives of the choir. Also, the choir has experiences in performing oratorio music, opera and film music.
