Poznańskie Słowiki
The Poznańskie Słowiki (en: Poznań Nightingales fr: Rossignols de Poznan de: Posener Nachtigallen) is a leading Polish choir founded in 1939.
When the Germans expelled the priest of Poznań Cathedral, Wacław Gieburowski (1878–1943), a choirboy Stefan Stuligrosz, then aged 19, took up running of choir in Gieburowski's name. After the war the choir was recognised and in 1950 became
the Boys' and Men's Choir of the Poznań Philharmonic.
The choir toured America in 1963, and many countries worldwide thereafter. Stuligrosz was the conductor of the choir (died in 2012)and composer of over 600 choral pieces.
Many alumni of the choir later became famous musicians (e.g. some members of the sextet Affabre Concinui).
