The Academic Choir „Coro Da Camera” of the Poznan University of Life Sciences, conducted by dr. Barbara Dąbrowska-Silska is an international group of students from the University of Life Sciences.The current team has been in place since October 2022, when the choir reactivated after a period of pandemic and joined by a group of Nigerian students. The diverse repertoire allows each chorister to feel comfortable in the pieces created.
Apart from concert activity in Poland, the Academic Choir “Coro Da Camera: of the Poznan University of Life Sciences has also performed in Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Spain and Lithuania. Each subsequent stage of its activity has brought successes at choral festivals. In recent years these have included: participation in the XII and XIII International Festival “Universitas Cantat” (2015 and 2017) and a Silver Diploma at the 2nd Baltic Choir Competition “Pomerania Cantat” in Slupsk (2016). In September 2018, the ensemble participated in the 8th Canto Mediterranea International Choral Competition in Lloret de Mar, Spain, where it was particularly successful, winning two Gold and two Silver Diplomas – in each musical category in which it performed. In May 2023, the group participated in the International Choral Festival "Vox Lucensis" in Lucca, Italy.
Charity concerts for Poznan's community of the elderly and sick people, held in cooperation with organisations supporting the needy, such as the Dr Clown Foundation, have become a tradition for the choir.
The ensemble has recorded several albums, including Antonio Vivaldi's Magnificat and Carl Jenkins' Requiem (a joint performance with the Choir of the Wielkopolska Chamber of Physicians and the Symphony Orchestra of the POSM II).
The choir is accompanied by Filip Samól.
