The PSAA’s President’s Corner
Kolezanki I Koledzy:
At a recent meeting of the National Board of the Polish Singers Alliance of America, we discussed our upcoming 50th International Convention and 125th anniversary celebration to be held in Detroit, Michigan May 22-26, 2014. It was decided at the 49th International Convention in 2010 to combine the Competition and Concert portions of the Convention. In order to best showcase the talents of each choir, there will be no mandatory selection. Rather each choir will perform two songs, both in the Polish language, at least one of which will be without accompaniment. In this way, the concert will showcase the talents of all the choirs competing. Of course, the concert will also include performances of the combined men’s, women’s, mixed choirs as well as the traditional finale of pieces by all singers together. The selections for the combined choruses portion of the Convention’s Concert will be forwarded to each choir in early June allowing plenty of rehearsal time to make our 125th anniversary and 50th International Convention performance a grand and uplifting one. The Convention is always a time to celebrate our musical heritage and renew friendships. We know our hosts in Detroit will provide the wonderful Polish hospitality to which we are all accustomed.
We have received official announcement of the District VII Convention to be held June 8 and 9, 2013 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York hosted by Hejnal Chorus #323 of Greenpoint. We encourage you to let us know of your events with photos and news items to add to our webpage. We also have links to the choirs we are aware of that have websites. If your choir is not linked and you have an active website, please let me know via email: wyrobekm@canisius.edu.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone, and more importantly, to hearing everyone at our Convention in 2014.
Gora Piesn,
Mary Lou Wyrobek
President
