Belle. --- Les reflets sur les étendues d'eau m'ont toujours fasciné par leur façon de mettre en vibration le réel avec des variations infinies, c'est ainsi que, sur une idée de Cécile Rigazio qui est l'auteure du texte, la partition a été conçue graphiquement (et Musicalement!) sur le principe du miroir en hommage à l'ensemble qui a choisi ce nom: "miroir que sais-tu de la beauté?" en écho à de célèbres exemples littéraires... --- The reflections on the water bodies have always fascinated me by their way of vibrating the real with infinite variations.

During Choir recruiting there was no audition, skills assessment or notes reading required. Positive energy and desire to sing was all that mattered. Conductor Ewa Robak, PhD agreed to lead this unusually formed group. Her professionalism helped overcome doubts and proved that amateur singing can astonish both performers and their listeners. This exciting and full of surprises adventure continues today with well-received concerts, charity performances and Piesniobrania – sing-alongs with city residents joining Antidotum in squares and concert halls. The Choir’s repertoire includes choral classics, adapted folk songs, unconventional arrangements of contemporary pop songs, as well as patriotic and religious pieces. Two years ago Choir members started taking part in regional Choir competitions and since they won seve...    less

You have beds to sell, I have beddings to buy. Neighbors are family, Good riddles make good friends. The knife may be sharp, it never scrapes its handle. Those who always share never die of hunger. Long lives Diplomacy! Long lives Fraternity! - - - Haitian Creole text: Men ale - Men vini, sa kenbe lamitye. Ou gen kabann pou vann, Mwen gen dra pou achte. Vwazinay se fanmi, Bon kont fè bon zanmi. Kouto mèt byen file, li pa grate manch li. Moun ki konn pataje pap janm mouri grangou. Vive la Diplomatie! Vive la Fraternité! - - -  less
