Sweetest Heart of Mary Pierogi Festival 2016
On Sunday, August 14, 2016, members of the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed at Sweetest Heart of Mary Church in Detroit, Michigan's Pierogi Festival. Long a mainstay on Wawel's performance calendar, Wawel has performed at this event going back to the first Pierogi Festival - 33 years ago.
For the 2016 edition of its Pierogi Festival performance, Wawel presented its Sieradz and Rzeszów suites, the Krakowiak, Kądziałeczka and its medley of dances from Old Warsaw. Following the performance, members of the Ensemble remained on hand to experience (of course) pierogi and to listen to the sounds of the Misty Blue polka band.
Although summer may be winding down, Wawel certainly isn't. On August 21, the Ensemble will travel to London, Ontario, Canada for a performance.
