In 2012 the artist began his collaboration with the Puellae Orantes Cathedral Girls’ Choir of Tarnów, with which (and with the Vienna Soloists) he recorded the CD In Strauss’s Footsteps. The idea of the CD originated in the series of Viennese Concerts presented by Austrian and Polish composers at the European Krzysztof Penderecki Centre for Music in Lusławice, Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic in Krakow and the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music Concert Hall in Katowice in January 2014. The CD programme consists of best known waltzes and polkas by the Strauss dynasty: Johann Strauss the Elder and his sons Johann and Josef. Łukasz Farcinkiewicz arranged the choral parts and wrote the final composition of the programme – the Warsaw-Vienna Waltz, commissioned by the Choir. The composer conducted a performance of this work at Warsaw Philharmonic in December 2014 during one of the concerts promoting this release. Released in more than ten thousand copies, it became a Gold Record.

In January 2015 the Puellae Orantes Choir gave joint concerts with the British vocal sextet The King’s Singers at the Mościce Arts Centre in Tarnów, ICE Kraków Congress Centre and the NOSPR concert hall in Katowice, performing, among others, a work composed for that occasion by Łukasz Farcinkiewicz.

In 2018, Missa pro Patria for female choir and orchestra was commissioned by the Puellae Orantes Choir. The world premiere (2018) and the first recording (2019) was conducted by Alexander Humala. In November 2019, the piece was performed in the NOSPR concert hall with the Japanese conductor Chikar Imamura. During both the recording and all performances, the Choir was accompanied by the Sinfonia Galicya orchestra founded by Piotr Tarcholik, the first concertmaster of NOSPR. The CD with the recording of this piece has been awarded the Gold Disc status.
In 2016 and 2018 Łukasz Farcinkiewicz composed two pieces commissioned by the NFM Choir. Quem diligit anima mea for mixed choir and piano was recorded twice in the NFM Concert Hall by the NFM Choir conducted by Agnieszka Franków-Żelazny, accompanied by Łukasz Farcinkiewicz. The piece was released on two albums released by the NFM: Wspólna Europa: Wrocław and San Sebastián and Ubi Caritas. Canticum novum was released by the Polish National Youth Choir conducted by Agnieszka Franków-Żelazny on the album Śpiewajmy! Młodzi - Młodym (album nominated for the Fryderyk Award in 2020). Both of pieces were published by PWM.
