Celebrate Szczecin’s birthday with us!

Citizens of Szczecin often forget about this important date in the timeline of their city. The Philharmonic decided to mark this holiday resoundingly. New versions of Polish evergreens i.a. “Magicians” (“in Polish “Czarodzieje”) from the repertoire of Skaldowie, “Under the Parrots” (in Polish “Pod Papugami”) by Czesław Niemen and the song “Love is like Sunday” (in Polish “Miłość jest jak niedziela”) by Ewa Bem are the protagonists of the concert Club Paprikash and Orangeade which will take place on 5th July at 19:00 at the Golden Hall of the Philharmonic in Szczecin. NEW SOUND OF JAZZ AND SONG is groove, swing and bossa nova. These are ever-young melodies, lyrics and loads of good tunes. Celebrate together with us!

The unique atmosphere of the concert will be provided by the Warsaw Entertainment Orchestra of Igor Kerenz, Gaba Kulka and Michał “Bunio” Skrok. Among the musicians we will have the pleasure to listen to in Szczecin are Bartłomiej Tyciński and Macio Moretti – leaders of the band Mitch & Mitch. The Warsaw Entertainment Orchestra of Igor Kerenz are musical commandos drafted for this special ops. Two outstanding artists will be responsible for the singing: Michał “Bunio” Skrok & Gaba Kulka, holder of a golden disc for “Mateusz” awarded by Polish Radio Programme 3, nominated for Polityka Passport for her album “Hat, Rabbit”, and also has a Fryderyk in her collection for “vocalist of the year”. Gaba Kulka has proved many a time that she feels comfortable in unusual projects – from the songs of Iron Maiden in original arrangements of the Baanba ensemble, to the songs of Wojciech Młynarski. Her latest album “The Escapist” vividly shows Gaba’s musical character. Strong inspiration from the giants of 1970s songs, jazz and folk as well as the loud 1980s can be heard on this album. Michał “Bunio” Skrok is a “rainbow eminence” of the Tricity experimental underground. For many years he has been exploring instrumental and experimental layers of rock and electronic music. He actively takes part in various musical undertakings in Tricity and Warsaw. Bunio has cooperated with i.a. Leszek Możdżer, Andrzej Bauer, Fisz and Jerzy Mazzol. The record "Muzyka dla supersamów" (“Music for supermarkets”) is the result of his cooperation with Mazzol as well as a radio show on Jazz Radio and the radio station “Mazzoleum”. Fans of the Philharmonic Soundlab series know him better from the formation Dick4dick. The musicians will take good care so that the Szczecin birthday becomes a memorable event for you all!

“Club Paprikash and Orangeade” is not just one concert, but two. Apart from a jazz-swing show, there will be another on 6th July which will present a new sound of big beat. The list of songs and performers of the club concert is quite impressive. We will hear i.a. Bela Komoszyńska from Sorry Boys who will sing “Weird Weekend” (in Polish “Dziwny Weekend”) by Breakout, Tymon Tymański with the song “Your time” (in Polish “Twój Czas”) by Krzysztof Klenczon, Budyń and his interpretation of “I have chosen you” (in Polish “Ciebie wybrałem”) by Polanie, while Marika will discover the new sound of “Rain in Cisna” (in Polish “Deszcz w Cisnej”) by Krystyna Prońko.

A real treat for music collectors is the fact that both concerts will be recorded and will end up on albums, which will later be on sale at Empik stores.
