LIGHT TO THE SKY AT THE 29th WOŚP GRAND FINALE IN WROCŁAW

This year's Wrocław Światełko do Nieba lit up beside Centennial Hall. An installation of around 70 lighting fixtures will be used to create the illumination, including 48 moving spot, beam and wash heads emitting colours and patterns to be projected onto the Wrocław Congress Centre's façade towards the fountain.

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

In the background stood the illuminated outline of Centennial Hall, with a large WOŚP flag on the mast. This visual production was accompanied in the foreground by Wrocław Respect Choir, performing Wrocław's WOŚP anthem, With A Little Help From My Friends, in Joe Cocker's version. The choir is conducted by Maciej Wojciechowski.

TWRC is an artistic project for singers aged 17 to 48: choristers, solo vocalists and students of singing schools, singing programmes, vocal departments, music schools and academies who come from, live, learn, work or study in Wrocław.

A project that rises above divisions, bringing people together rather than dividing them and highlighting Wrocław’s beauty, vitality, exuberance and spontaneity through residents’ involvement in and through music. Its greatest strength is its people. Created in October 2018, it attracted considerable interest from Wrocław residents from the outset. Its format, flexibility and distinctive performing expressiveness won recognition among many artists. Despite its short existence and project-based approach, it has performed with artists including Village People, Kayah, Kamil Bednarek, Maciej “Gleba” Florek, DJ Gambit, Natalia Lubrano, Aro Kłusowski, Ewa Farna, Sound’n’Grace, Mariusz Dziubek and Piotr Rubik.

The heart of Wrocław’s Finale will be the studio at Stary Klasztor. Alongside concert broadcasts, expect numerous meetings and conversations with Wrocław-connected guests who have supported WOŚP for years. Over two days, we will also connect with local fundraising centres and follow their activities live. There will be musical postcards and archive Pol’and’rock Festival material, moving documentaries from previous fundraisers and plenty of educational advice on saving lives and health. Not a dull second.

The ensemble also participated in the final concert and “Out of The System, czyli Wielki Brat czuwa”, directed by Marcin Liber, during the 40th anniversary Stage Song Review. They also appeared at two editions of the city's “Wrocław Respect” New Year's Eve celebration, directed by Paweł Gołębski.
