The Women's Choir of the Maritime University of Szczecin was founded in October 2023 at the initiative of Prof. Sylwia Fabiańczyk-Makuch, the founder and conductor of the renowned Choir of Maritime University of Szczecin. Since its inception, the group has been conducted by Dominika Mastalerczyk.

The choir consists of 35 female singers united by their love of singing and music. The members of the group are high school and university students, as well as women outside the academic community who find their passion and artistic expression in choral singing. Despite its short history, the group performs frequently in their city and the surrounding region, spreading the beauty of choral music. The choir's repertoire includes secular and sacred works, as well as arrangements of popular music.

On January 16th, the Women’s Choir won a silver medal at the National Christmas Carols and Pastoral Songs Competition in Chełmno.
