Chór LXXV Liceum Ogólnokształcącego im. Jana III Sobieskiego w Warszawie / Choir of Jan III Sobieski Secondary School no. 75  in Warsaw

Founded in 1992, the choir carries forward the musical traditions  of the former Nursery Teacher Training Secondary School and  Teacher Training College. Initially known as Tutti Cantamus, it  was conducted first by Krystyna Betley and subsequently by Izabela Tomaszewska; since 2016, the ensemble has been directed  by Liliana Bach.

Spanning many periods and idioms, its repertoire ranges from  early and sacred music to folk and contemporary works, popular  music and mainstays of the choral canon. A regular presence in  the cultural life of both its school and the wider city, the choir  performs at competitions and festivals and takes part in a wide  variety of artistic projects.

Recent years have brought a succession of prizes at Polish  and international competitions. Among the most significant  are the Grand Prix at The Wave of Sound International Choir  Competition in Łódź (2019); a Gold Diploma and 1st Prize at  the Music Everywhere National Festival of Contemporary Choral  Music (2019); Silver Tuning Forks in 2019 and 2024, followed  by a Golden Tuning Fork in 2025, at the National Competition  of Children’s and Youth A Cappella Choirs in Bydgoszcz; Silver  Diploma at the Cantu Gaudeamus International Choir Competition in Białystok (2024); Silver Diploma and Special Award at  the Sacred Music Festival in Zgierz (2023); and Silver Diploma  at the inaugural Marcin Wartecki Choir Festival in Warta  (2024).

In 2025, the choir appeared in the concert King Jan III Sobieski:  Faces of Love in Music and Words at the Museum of King Jan III’s  Palace at Wilanów, where it gave the world premiere of Dariusz  Zimnicki’s Venimus, vidimus.
