Felician Sisters - St. Nicholas Day 2009
On Sunday, December 6, 2009, members of the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed for a St. Nicholas Day party for the Felician Sisters at the Felician Sisters' Motherhouse located in Livonia, Michigan.
Wawel has performed for the Felician Sisters for their St. Nicholas Day event for the past several years. For this year's party Wawel performed its Sieradz, Podlasie, and Lowicz suites as well as the Kadzialeczka and the Karolina Polka. The performance concluded with a polka along with the Sisters and their guests.
The December 6 performance marked the close of Wawel's 2009 season. The members of the ensemble will now take some time off to enjoy the holidays and gear up for the 2010 performance year.
