An outstanding concert featuring the remarkable talents of Polish and Australian musicians, The Spirit of Poland captivated the Rex audience on Saturday and drew lavish praise from audience members. Pianist Pawel Zawadzki, soprano Marta Nowicka and violinist Adam Piechocinski thrilled with their mastery in a program showcasing not only their extensive musical experience, but also a heritage of Polish classics combined with musical theatre inserts.
The Rex extends thanks to these world-class artists, to PolMusicA Executive Director, Grzegorz Machnacki, local PolMusicA liaison, Dana Czarski and to Robert Cripps for the availability of the Steinway concert grand piano for enabling this prestige event to take place in Charlton.
The glowing audience response indicates a high expectation for future events of this caliber.
