Caroling with Jacek
In accordance with our Club's tradition (and Polish tradition) in January we were caroling with Jacek Kalisz. Jacek is a respected musician, well known in the Sacramento Area and beyond for his excellence in organ and piano music. For many years Jacek conducted the only Polish Choir in the Northern California Cantio Polonica. This time Jacek was joined by another excellent musician Basia Wroblewska from Davis, her children Marcin and Marysia and recreated, after long years, Cantio Polonica. Big THANK YOU for Jacek Kalisz for putting together a program that was a holiday extravaganza, showcasing a fine choir and the excellent talents of the Polish Youth. Highlights of this program included a beautifully sung solo by Basia Wroblewska. Everybody in the audience appreciated the richness and beauty of Polish Christmas music.
