Fine regional pianists: Dianne Davies, Ruta Kuzmickas, Mitchell Falconer perform mazurkas of three immortal Polish composers: Fryderyk Chopin, Karol Szymanowski, Roman Maciejewski. MT Duo: Tatiana Kolchanova - violin & Mary Rowell - viola; with selected Chopin mazurkas and traditional Polish folk melodies from Oskar Kolberg collection.

+ Agnieszka Laska Dancers with Ruta Kuzmickas in Chopin Project!

Poland's most distinctive music is as sweet as its finest dessert; Mazur and Mazurek, respectively (Mazurka in English); baked only at Easter time. The weekend before Easter this year, we'll be enjoying both at Polish Hall  admission: $10, all inclusive (entertainment and desserts).
Mazurek cakes, baked in local Polish kitchens, will be served with coffee and tea. Selected fine Polish liqueurs will be available (in moderation, of course) at Grandpas' cafe, in the lower level of Polish Hall.

The musical mazurka (in Polish, mazurek ) traditionally accompanies a Polish folk dance in triple meter, usually at a lively tempo, accented on the second or third beat, though there are slower, more lyrical ones as well. We will provide some education about this and Marek Grzelak + Zyta Nagler will demonstrate the traditional dance. Agnieszka Laska Dancers will perform excerpt of acclaimed Chopin Project with Ruta Kuzmickas on piano.

HIS HIGHNESS MR JACOB (Jasnie Pan Jakub) is a monodram based on a novel by Wiesław  Mysliwski, a Polish author whose work is set in the country-side of southern Poland, near the town of Sandomierz,  performed by Jerzy Kopczewski "Buleczka."

This type of theatrical production, a "one-actor show", is extremely popular in Europe and in Poland.  Mr. Jerzy Kopczewski, director, producer and the star of Jasnie Pan Jakub, has played both roles of Jacob  the server and Jacob-the Lord over 700 times in the 30 years of his theatrical history. 

The three part played is a description of Jacob, a simple farmhand boy, who imagines into existence his proprietor, his lord and master. Simple Jacob, in his imagination, brings to life a monster, many times worse than Jacob's proprietor in real life. 

"JAŚNIE PAN JAKUB " - wg prozy najwybitniejszego współcześnie żyjącego prozaika polskiego Wiesława MYŚLIWSKIEGO (dwukrotny laureat nagrody literackiej NIKE). Spektakl pokazuje sylwetkę człowieka, który siłą chorej wyobraźni z parobka zamienia się w swojego ciemiężcę, dziedzica. Znany w literaturze światowej motyw "z chłopa - król" znajduje w spektaklu pełne urzeczywistnienie. Bohater Myśliwskiego kiedyś, to dzisiaj jakby Wałęsa z jego ludzkimi, najbardziej mrocznymi cechami: egoizmem, zarozumiałością, pychą, skłonnością do pogardy drugim człowiekiem. Spektakl trwa 1 godzine, 45 minut.
