Wawel Performs on Orchard Lake St. Mary’s Campus
On
Tuesday, August 5, 2014, the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed on the campus of
Orchard Lake St. Mary’s in Orchard Lake, Michigan. Wawel’s performance was part of the GRIP on
the Road event which was sponsored by the Polonica American Research Institute
and the Polish Mission. The performance
was featured in a series of events as part of a week-long genealogy conference.
In
order to give the event’s attendees a flavor for the different regional dress
in Poland, Wawel had each couple attired in a different folk costume to reflect
the regional dances that were presented in the performances. Wawel’s performance consisted of its Kaszëbë,
Podlasie, Biłgoraj, Rzeszów, and Sieradz suites. Between each suites attendees were treated to
a mini fashion show in which details of the folk dress, as well as the region
were described.
Wawel’s
next performance is Sunday, August 10, 2014 at Sweetest Heart of Mary Church in
Detroit, Michigan’s annual Pierogi Festival.
