The Chamber Choir of the Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz is celebrating 40 years of artistic activity. The ensemble was honoured with the Marshal’s Medal Unitas Durat Palatinatus Cuiaviano-Pomeraniensis. The award was presented during the anniversary concert by regional councillor Katarzyna Stranz-Kaja.

The choir was founded in 1986 on the initiative of Prof. Janusz Stanecki, who—working on vocal technique with Prof. Elżbieta Wtorkowska—led the ensemble for 34 years.

The ensemble performs worldwide, successfully participating in prestigious competitions and festivals. In November last year, it won a Gold Diploma at the 18th International Choral Competition in Rimini, Italy—one of the most highly regarded choral competitions in the world.

Since 2020, the choir has been conducted by Dr. Magdalena Filipska, with Justyna Narewska serving as assistant conductor and Dorota Nowak as vocal coach.
