zborovodja/conductor
Tomasz Hynek 

The Warsaw School of Economics Choir (Chór SGH) has existed for over forty years, but owes its current form to its present conductor, Tomasz Hynek, who revived the group in 1993. The Choir is a group of singing enthusiasts who, apart from their Academic career in Economy, cannot imagine their life without music. Mostly made up of students and alumni, it attracts singers not related to the university, too. An eclectic musical taste makes the Choir stand out on the Polish music scene – it successfully performs both great classical works and modern compositions. The main goal of the Choir is simply to enjoy the music. Doing it with devotion, all members make great efforts to develop their passion and achieve the best results at the same time. Over the last 16 years the Choir has won many awards, including first places at: International “Varsovia Cantus” Festival, “Vivat Academia” University Choir Festival, International Competition of Sacred Music in Slovakia, and others. The Choir has often collaborated with other choirs, e.g. during the European Christmas Carol Gala at the National Opera. The Choir was also enthusiastically received at concerts in Germany, Switzerland, Portugal and it distinguished itself in prestigious international competitions in Italy (4th place in Gorizia, first prize not awarded) and Ireland at the Cork International Choral Festival.
