Władysław Skoraczewski "Artos" Children's Choir
Founded in 2011 by Danuta Chmurska, the Artos Choir continues the tradition of natural contact between children and music, initiated by the ensemble’s patron, Władysław Skoraczewski (a soloist at the Warsaw Opera, a scout instructor and a great educator of the youth). The Choir cooperates closely with the Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera, taking part in such productions as Georges Bizet’s Carmen, Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot and Tosca, Karol Szymanowski’s King Roger, Wolfgang Rihm’s Jakob Lenz, Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, ballet triptych Kurt Weil, Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Die tote Stadt, Władysław Żeleński’s Goplana, Carl Orff’s Carmina burana, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, and performances for children and young people. The ensemble works under the direction of the conductor Danuta Chmurska and the composer and accompanist Paulina Chmurska, as well as with numerous performers – directors, conductors, choreographers and musicians. The Artos Children’s Choir collaborates with the Warsaw Philharmonic, the Jerzy Semkow Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra and the Tadeusz Baird Philharmonic in Zielona Góra.
