Concerts and festivals

The sweet sound of music

There are so many quotes I can add here that sound nostalgic to how much music means to us in life. We simply can't get around it, it's everywhere we go. All alone I love some solid rock and metal, but any tune will do to get me through the day and usually just go with whatever playlist is recomended when opening my streaming app. But with music everywhere, the most amazing thing is to actually see artists perform live, the energy and interaction is amazing!

Below some of the artists I had a pleasure to see live and work with.

Kasia Kowalska

With her first album released 30 years ago, Kasia is a legend in the Polish music scene. Her first album was so well received it hit the top of the charts and went Gold in no time. after a two year break to raise her daugher in the year 2000 she came back with another gold record "5".

Karuzela Gna

Under direction of dirigent Beata Śnieg the Chór Music Everywhere has been touring for the past year with their show Karuzela Gna. A full two hours of the most energetic choir, including band, you will ever see and hear performing specially adapted covers of Polish music legends such as Marila Rodowicz, Kayah and Bajm.
