15 May 2020 ON THE 100th BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY OF JOHN PAUL II

Stefan was his peer, they simply liked each other…

The choir sang, the Pope joined its ranks…

Millions of people… Never before or since I performed before such a huge auditorium…

These are only three quotes from the film prepared by Poznan Nightingales choir for the 100th birthday anniversary of Karol Wojtyła – Pope John Paul II. This unusual documentary was interlaced from memories of choristers and their photos kept at home albums, as well as the archives of Poznan Philharmonic and its Choir.

The emotions that accompanied choir singers performing for John Paul II (and having the opportunity to meet him) have remained written in their hearts for ever. And as the Nightingales sang for the Polish Pope numerous times – in Poland and in Vatican – many images can be brought to mind.

You will not hear these stories anywhere else. We invite you to the websites and Facebook profiles of Poznan Philharmonic and Poznan Nightingales on Monday morning, 18th of May.
