The choir was cre­ated in 1990 at the sug­ges­tion of Prof. Andrzej Chorosiński. The War­saw Boy’s and Men’s Choir gives approx­i­mately 30 con­certs a year per­form­ing pieces com­ing from almost all peri­ods, in to it great ora­to­rio works which are often per­formed in famous con­cert halls under the lead­er­ship of con­duc­tors of great renown. For­eign tours (the Nether­lands, Ger­many, France, Lithua­nia and Japan) dur­ing which the choir’s per­for­mances have met with recog­ni­tion from both the audi­ence and the crit­ics, have become an essen­tial form of activ­ity.

In Poland the choir works with the most pres­ti­gious musi­cal insti­tu­tions, such as the War­saw Phil­har­monic, Great The­atre — Pol­ish National Opera, the Inter­na­tional Fes­ti­val “Wratislavia Can­tans”. The War­saw Boy’s and Men’s Choir can boast a great num­ber of record­ings, e.g.: G. Crumb’s Star Child CD which was given the Grammy Award in 2001.

Their other pres­ti­gious record­ings are the ones con­tain­ing the works by Krzysztof Pen­derecki: Credo, Pasja, Jutrz­nia, released by CD Accord. In the 2006/2007 sea­son the choir won the “Golden band” at the Inter­na­tional Choir Com­pe­ti­tion in Bratislava and first prize at the “Seghizzi Corale” com­pe­ti­tion in Gorizia, Italy.
