1. Holidays end - update you info!
----------------------------------------------------
Good data is fresh data - we announce the choirs' profiles updating action. Many profiles does not have videos or pictures, a little has a description in a foreign language. We hereby invite you to translate information about your choir and put it into the portal, as international traffic is growing and it will help you during international correspondence.

2. Automatic integration of concerts and festivals information - live example at MusicSacram.pl
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following story is an example of the use of data provided by Chórtownia by another site - MusicamSacram.pl. We recommend reading (and action!) every chorister-developer and president-marketer.

3. "Merry Wanderer" - Norbert Blacha's works' concert and gospel workshops
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norbert Blacha's "Prayer For Peace" know most of the choirs in Poland. And do you know other works of this composer? Norbert passed away too early, but he left a lot of beautiful songs that will be developed at the workshop 15-16.X.2016. You can register for this workshop as individual singer or as choir until 16st September. And of course - just come for a concert.
