AKADEMICKI CHÓR POLITECHNIKI ŚLĄSKIEJ to grupa wrażliwych ludzi kochających muzykę i śpiew, dla których muzyczne hobby stało się życiowa pasją. Chór to zespół łączący nowoczesność z tradycjami sięgającymi roku 1945, kiedy przybyli do Gliwic pracownicy i studenci Politechniki Lwowskiej i - wraz z założeniem uczelni - utworzyli zespół śpiewaczy, postanawiając kontynuować dzieło Lwowskiego Chóru Technickiego.
Dotychczas chór uzyskał 65 nagród i wyróżnień, z czego 46 w ramach festiwali muzycznych
