Singing ensembles

“Singing ensembles” are vocal formations that focus on performing traditional folk songs characteristic of various regions of Poland. They operate mainly at the local level and are often composed of community members who are passionate about preserving and passing on the musical heritage of their region. The repertoire of singing ensembles includes traditional songs that have been passed down from generation to generation, often associated with rituals, holidays and everyday rural life.

These ensembles take care to faithfully reproduce the melodies, lyrics and performance style of the songs to reflect the spirit and authenticity of the tradition as closely as possible. Their activities are crucial in preserving the local dialects, melodies and stories contained in folk songs. Singing groups often participate in local celebrations, folk festivals and competitions, thus promoting their culture and traditions on a wider scale.

Their activity is not only a form of artistic expression, but also an important element of cultural education, strengthening local identity and social ties. Singing groups contribute to the preservation of Poland’s cultural diversity, enabling future generations to discover and appreciate the richness of their ancestors’ musical traditions.
