Members of the Cleveland Opera presented a Polish Christmas concert at St Casimir Church. The program featured the beloved Polish music of Chopin, Wieniawski, Moniuszko, as well as Gaude Mater Polonia, Bogurodzica and Rota. It concluded with a selection of Polish carols with the artists leading a sing-along.

  • Dorota Sobieska – soprano, violin, mandolin
  • Sam Gross – tenor, tenor recorder, lute-guitar
  • Wanda Sobieska – violin, viola, rebec
  • Jacek Sobieski – piano, hurdy-gurdy
Here are a few of the Christmas Carols they sang. First is Bog sie rodzi, a carol about the birth of God. Then Wsrod nocnej ciszy - In the Silence of the Night from the 18th century. The final carol was Gdy sie Chrystus rodzi - When Christ is Born from the first half of the 19th century. Watch.



Here are some photos from the event.
