Since 1948, MAZOWSZE has embodied the spirit and soul of Poland’s national dances, songs and traditions. MAZOWSZE is an early holiday season treat the whole family will enjoy.

The incomparable Mazowsze performance troupe whirls, leaps, stamps and glides in a glorious outpouring of sound and motion, rhythm and music that celebrates the cultural legacy of Poland. More than 90 MAZOWSZE dancers, singers, and musicians will fill the stage with a thrilling kaleidoscopic display of dazzling movement, vibrant color and stunning beauty. The choreography and musical arrangements represent 39 regions of Poland with traditional performance styles. A full 23-member orchestra performs music ranging from Chopin to folk melodies beloved by the Polish community for centuries.

 

After the very successful 2007 tour, the world-renowned MAZOWSZE returns to North America in a special 60th Anniversary celebratory tour of live performances, once again coordinated with major Public Television showings of the PBS special about MAZOWSZE: “The Music and Dance of Poland.”
