Lutnia

The history of the "Lutnia" Mixed Choir dates back to 1908, when lovers of choral songs and Polish patriots established the Singers' Society in Królewska Huta (former name of today's Chorzów). "Lutnia" was created out of the need of people who want to awaken the national spirit and promote speech and songs in the Polish language.
