On the first Saturday in December, Olivia Sky Club hosted the next edition of our chamber music series, Olivia Camerata. This is the second year of meetings with the works of the masters; The Camerata’s programme always includes the most beautiful compositions of classical music, which help us to realize our sometimes undiscovered love for it and give us an extraordinary opportunity to get in touch with beauty in its pure form.

Olivia Camerata is a project that integrates our community. Olivia, as part of it, hosts entire multi-generational families. Both the youngest and the elderly feel good here. Residents and our friends from Oliwa and the entire Tri-City meet in Olivia Sky Club.

The December concert of the Camerata will be remembered for a very long time, because it was unique in many respects. A full audience (the hall was filled to capacity), a unique atmosphere and a very warm welcome of the performers – Anna Mikolon (piano) and Krzysztof Bobrzecki (baritone) – these are just some of the attributes of this unique meeting. We could hear, or even feel, the taste of rabbit or Turkish chicken dishes – recipes for preparing these delicacies… was sung. As part of the promotion of young talents, students of the Secondary School of Music performed. in Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz, Zofia Lewandowska (viola) and Marcin Marzejon (clarinet).

In the program, as part of the “Christmas Music Menu” we heard the most beautiful works of the classics of world chamber music m.in: Mozart, Beethoven, Bizet, Moniuszko and Strauss. In addition to the works of the masters, there were also Christmas songs, songs and, of course, everyone’s beloved Christmas carols, close to our hearts. We also heard such well-known Christmas hits as “White Christmas”, “Let it snow”, “Have yourself a merry little Christmas”, or “On the whole slope of snow”.

We would like to thank all of you for the time spent together, which beautifully began the Advent period and the anticipation of Christmas.

We would also like to thank the Partners of our event: Mr. Andrzej Palecki (MBank Gdańsk), Sylwia Pawłowska (Lobster Restaurant) for the lovely, rich Santa Claus gifts and refreshments for our guests. We would like to thank StaraOliwa.pl, the Gdańsk Community, Radio Gdańsk and the Pomerania Development Agency for their media support.

We invite you to the next concerts of the Olivia Camerata series in 2018, and the motto will be “Four Seasons”. So the first installment in March, in the spring!

Thank you very much for the special time we spent together during the “Christmas Music Menu” concert!
