On Stanisław Moniuszko's birth anniversary, 5th May 2019, the Institution for Promotion and Dissemination of Music "Silesia" invites small music lovers together with their caretakers to celebrate the special anniversary together. A concert of the series "Moniuszko from the heart" will be held in the concert hall of the Mieczysław Karłowicz State Music School in Katowice at 4:00 p.m.

Exactly 200 years will pass from the birth of our great composer on Sunday 5th May 2019. The organisers inivite everyone to meet at 3.00 p.m. at the Stanisław Moniuszko monument at Miarki Square in Katowice and leave a bouquet of flowers for the Jubilarian.

Then the artists, dressed up as noblemen and noblewomen from the period, will invite us to a meeting at the Moniuszko's manor house, where one will be able to meet many unusual characters – heroes of songs and operas like Halka, Verbum nobile and The Haunted Manor. The soloists will be Anna Ogińska (soprano), Katarzyna Ćwiek (mezzo-soprano) and Stanisław Duda (baritone), accompanied on piano by Mateusz Lasatowicz. The concert will be led by Alicja Kotyl. At the end of this Sunday afternoon, the artists will invite on behalf of Stanisław Moniuszko for a sweet birthday party.

Free tickets are available at the IPiUM Silesia office (2 Sejmu Śląskiego St., ground floor, room 20) and by phone (32) 219 33 44 at 21.
