Polish Radio Choir – Lusławice
Maria Bogalecka-Piotrowska (choirmaster)

Since its founding in 1948, the Polish Radio Choir – Lusławice has been one of Europe’s best vocal ensembles. They have premiered works by great figures of Polish music like Penderecki, Lutoslawski, and Górecki, and at the same time they devote themselves to the traditional repertoire. They are now coming to Prague led by their choirmaster Marie Piotrowska-Bogalecka to present a programme combining the music of Polish composers with works by Bohuslav Martinů and Martin Smolky. “This is an extremely vivid sounding group, singing with a wide dynamic range, well-balanced voices, and coherence of sound, and that is certainly due to Maria Piotrowska-Bogalecka,” wrote Bartosz Witkowski for the prestigious music journal Ruch Muzyczny.
