4 songs and 1 symphony

On May 31, 2026 at 2.00 pm at the St. Anthony Church in Gdynia, bass Tomasz Raff and Latvian organist Renate Stivrina will perform the song cycle by Johannes Brahms, composed to words from the Bible, along with the "Lourdes" Organ Symphony by Feliks Nowowiejski, the musical patron of Gdynia. Admission is free.

Since 2024, the o.to.ja Foundation has been organizing chamber concerts in the Franciscan church, aiming to combine Christian spirituality with professional activity in the form of classical sacred music concerts. Past concert programs have featured pieces ranging from J.S. Bach to contemporary works by living composers. The core idea behind this concert series is to share music and the spoken word in an accessible, concise, and open format.

The event is financed by the City of Gdynia as part of the Civic Budget (budżet obywatelski) funds.
