The Krakow Philharmonic Choir is a renowned classical music ensemble based in Krakow, Poland. The choir was founded in 1945, shortly after the end of World War II, and has since become one of the most respected and accomplished choral groups in Europe. The choir was established by a group of music enthusiasts who were determined to revive the rich cultural heritage of Krakow, which had been devastated by the war. The founding members of the choir were primarily amateur singers, but they were united by their passion for music and their desire to create something beautiful and meaningful. In the early years of its existence, the Krakow Philharmonic Choir faced many challenges. The city of Krakow was still recovering from the war, and resources were scarce. Nevertheless, the choir persevered, and over time it began to attract more and more talented singers. One of the key turning points in the choir's history came in 1955, when it was invited to perform at the prestigious International Festival of Contemporary Music in Venice, Italy. This was the choir's first major international performance, and it was a resounding success. The choir's performance was praised for its precision, clarity, and emotional depth, and it helped to establish the choir's reputation as a world-class ensemble. Over the years, the Krakow Philharmonic Choir has performed at many of the world's most prestigious concert halls and music festivals.

The choir has also collaborated with many of the world's leading conductors and orchestras. Some of the most notable collaborations include performances with the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic. In addition to its many performances, the Krakow Philharmonic Choir has also received numerous awards and accolades over the years. In 1975, the choir was awarded the prestigious Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland, in recognition of its contributions to Polish culture. The choir has also been awarded the Grand Prix du Disque and the Diapason d'Or, two of the most prestigious awards in the classical music world. Despite its many achievements, the Krakow Philharmonic Choir remains committed to its mission of promoting the rich cultural heritage of Krakow and Poland.
