In addition to a cappella pieces, the band also performs vocal and instrumental pieces, pieces inspired by folklore of various nations and arrangements of popular music. Bielski Chamber Choir has given concerts in Europe, incl. in Italy, Germany, Greece, Malta, but also in more distant countries such as China, Canada, and Thailand.
Friday's repertoire
The Bielski Chamber Choir will mainly present works on Marian themes, but there will also be pieces of Jewish origin. The proposed repertoire combines music typical of two different cultures: Christian and Jewish, and the buckle that unites these two musical worlds into a thematic whole is the person of Mary. The concert program will be filled with compositions created over seven hundred years of history. During the concert "Maria of Nazareth" a wide repertoire will be presented: Wacław z Szamotuły, J. Arcadelt, A. Koszewski, S. Rachmaninow, J. Świder, F. Mendelssohn - Bartholdy, C. Duffy, F. Biebl.
