Carol concert and the fortieth anniversary of the “Jordan” choir

On Sunday 18 January, after the main Mass, the annual carol concert took place. This time it was also a celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the “Jordan” parish choir, founded in January 1986 by the organist of the time, the late Mr Bronisław Wałdoch.

The choir performed more than a dozen carols and pastorals, including three in arrangements from the 1980s, copied by hand into a notebook that has survived in the parish archive. The “Ziarenko” schola also sang. The church was full.

After the concert the parish priest read out a letter of congratulations from the bishop and presented certificates to five choir members who have sung with the choir without a break since its first year. The longest-serving is Mrs Teresa Bruska — forty years.

Mr Jerzy Wałdoch, the founder's son, took over the leadership of the choir in 2009. Today it has twenty-six members and sings at the main Mass every Sunday, during the Paschal Triduum, at patronal feasts and in concerts.

We welcome new singers all year round. Rehearsals on Tuesdays at 19:00 in the meeting room at the presbytery. You don't need to be able to read music.
