Wawel at 2015 APCC Polish Festival
Members of the Wawel Folk Ensemble took to the stage on
Friday July 10, 2015 at the American Polish Century Club of Sterling Heights
Michigan’s annual Polish Fest. Wawel
appeared shortly after the Festival’s opening ceremonies and the introduction
of dignitaries.
For its performance, Wawel presented its Cieszyn, Biłgoraj and Sieradz suites along with the Krakowiak and the Saxonet polka. With temps in the low 80s, the performance was much cooler compared to Wawel’s performance at the 2014 APCC Polish Festival which had much higher temperatures and significantly higher humidity.
Following the performance, members of the Ensemble remained at the festival enjoying nationally renowned polka bands as well as Hamtramck’s own, the Polish Muslims all while enjoying the various food and beverage offering provided at the festival.
Wawel’s next public performance will take place on Sunday, August 9, 2015 at the Sweetest Heart of Mary Church Pierogi Festival in Detroit, Michigan. Please check back with this blog and Wawel’s facebook page as performance information is updated as it is available.
