The NFM Girls’ Choir, comprising girls aged nine to eighteen, was founded in September 2022 by Andrzej Kosendiak. From the outset, it has worked under the direction of Małgorzata Podzielny, who initiated its establishment. Since 2023, Mikołaj Szczęsny has served as the assistant artistic director.

The NFM Girls’ Choir plays an active role in Wrocław’s musical life, undertaking artistic projects in collaboration with renowned conductors, such as Ernst Kovacic, Enrico Onofri, and Jacek Kaspszyk, and ensembles including the European Union Baroque Orchestra, Sinfonia Varsovia, NFM Leopoldinum Chamber Orchestra, NFM Wrocław Philharmonic, LutosAir Quintet, Lutosławski Quartet, Polish Radio Choir, NFM Choir, NFM Boys’ Choir, and the Rondo Vocal Ensemble.
The choir performs regularly at festivals and concerts in Poland and internationally, presenting both sacred and secular music. Key events in which it has participated include concerts at the International Festival Wratislavia Cantans, the Leo Festival, and the “Fête de l’Europe” European Youth Festival in Dresden. The choir has also performed twice at the International Ignaz Reimann Choral Music Festival in Wambierzyce and participated in numerous artistic events across Lower Silesia.

In December 2023, the first album featuring the choir members, The Philharmonic of Mr Kleks, was released. On it, they perform alongside the NFM Boys’ Choir, the Rondo Vocal Ensemble, and the NFM Leopoldinum Chamber Orchestra. The album contains songs from the Mr Kleks films arranged by Michał Ziółkowski and received a nomination for the 2025 Fryderyk Award in the Crossover category. In 2026, the young artists featured  on the Witold Lutosławski. Opera omnia 09 – Les petits riens album.

The NFM Girls’ Choir boasts a number of awards and honours, including winning the Grand Prix at the 8th Prof Józef Świder International Music Festival in Cieszyn (2023) and the Grand Prix at the Chorus Inside International Competition in Rovinj (Croatia, 2024). In October 2024, the choir received a distinction for the best performance of a work by a Polish composer at the National Choral Competition, held as part of the “Wrocław – City of Music” National Choral Forum.
In 2025, the choir won a Gold Diploma at the Legnica Cantat choral competition, the Grand Prix at the Ohrid Choir Festival in North Macedonia, and a Gold Diploma at the 11th Nicolaus Copernicus International Choral Competition and Festival “Per Musicam Ad Astra” in Toruń. In 2026, the choir performed at the 5th International Choral Events competition in Saint-Raphaël, France, where it won third place in the pop/gospel category, second place in the children's choirs category, and third place in the sacred music category.

The NFM Girls’ Choir is active in three groups. More information about recruitment and the beginner and intermediate groups can be found at: https://www.nfm.wroclaw.pl/edukacja-dla-mlodych-artystow/nabor-i-zajecia
