PG Carnivalesque" under The patronage of Prof. Krzysztof Wilde, rector of Gdańsk Tech, attracted several hundred people who listened to daring performances of popular pop music hits. During The performance we heard Choral arrangements of hits such as: "Dancing Queen", "Memory", "California Dreamin'" and "Maria". This time it was not Mozart or Bach, but ABBA, Queen and songs from The musical West Side Story that graced The walls of The Gdansk University of Technology in carnivalesque musical artistic creations. Jazz musicians performed along with The Choir, and The musical effects were accompanied by a unique lighting arrangement, which required appropriate space and audience arrangement. The more-than-hour-long performance by The Academic Choir of The Gdańsk University of Technology, conducted by Prof. Mariusz Mróz and accompanied by musicians from The Music Academy in Bydgoszcz, ended with joint singing, encores and a standing ovation.  less

For a long time, I felt There was an a cappella Choral piece hiding within it, in plain sight. One day I got inspired and gave it a try. Creating a Choral adaptation of a piano piece has its challenges. I tried to keep faithful to Satie's original musical inspiration and created lyrics to go with my arrangement that evoke an early summer morning, one of my favourite times of The year. Several months later, I applied to be a participant at one of The Vancouver Chamber Choir's Interplay workshops funded by The SOCAN Foundation and to my delight I was accepted. "As dawn breaks" was one of The pieces that this amazing Choir sight read for me on The spot. VCC director Jon Washburn and Choir members Then provided me with valuable feedback, for which I am very grateful. NB: One day I woke up to The realization that I had independently written four Choral works, each of which had evoked a different season, and so it seemed natural to group ...    less

Mariotti”, Perugia. The School Choir itself has, over The years, gone from strength to strength despite The need for constant renewal caused by The inevitable “turnover” as new students took The places of those who left. However, after this experience, which has included many Concerts in The region, participations in Choir Festivals in Italy and artistic exchanges with Youth Choirs from Germany, Hungary, Spain, Denmark and The Czech Republic, our desire to continue singing and, of course, The joy which singing togeTher gave us all made it obvious that The time had clearly come to establish a group which could allow us to continue our musical journey togeTher. Thus, once formed, The joy of singing togeTher stimulated our vocal group to initiate a musical journey of exploration of study which, we hope, will lead us on to ever more emotional musical experiences while, of cou...    less
