The Polish Radio Choir, known as Chór Polskiego Radia w Krakowie in Polish, is a prestigious vocal ensemble that has been an integral part of Poland's cultural scene. The choir was established in 1948 in Krakow and has since evolved into one of the country's most respected choral groups. Specializing in performing both a cappella and accompanied choral music, this ensemble is celebrated for its versatility and breadth of repertoire, which ranges from Renaissance polyphony to contemporary compositions.

Renowned for its precise and expressive performances, the Polish Radio Choir has collaborated with a multitude of distinguished conductors and orchestras, both within Poland and internationally. Their discography reflects their dedication to Polish composers, as seen in recent releases such as "Szymon Godziemba-Trytek: Choral Works" and "Lutoslawski: 20 Polish Christmas Carols / Lacrimosa / 5 Songs", which showcase the richness of Polish choral music. In addition to their commitment to promoting native works, they also interpret international pieces, as demonstrated by their recordings of Mozart's "Requiem in D Minor, K. 626: Rex Tremendae" and Handel's "Ode for St Cecilia's Day". The Polish Radio Choir not only contributes to the preservation of traditional choral music but also fosters the development of new compositions, rendering it a key player in the global choral community.
