Come and sing Polish baroque music
Invitation to participate in the
Chórtownia Workshop Choir
"Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki – Completorium"
August 31-September 3, 2023
On the first weekend of September we invite you to take part in Workshop Choir which will prepare and perform G.G.Gorczycki's “Completorium” and “Laetatus sum” in Bytom, in the parish church of Gorczycki's birth and in Gliwice, the hometown of the Chórtownia Foundation.
What will it be?
During 2 days of rehearsals, the Workshop Choir will prepare Gorczycki’s “Completorium” and “Laetatus sum” - two outstanding works of Polish baroque music, rarely performed by amateur choirs due to the difficulty and the need to employ an instrumental ensemble and soloists. However, many choral singers express their desire to perform these works.
The program also includes the medieval Polish song “Bogurodzica” in an arrangement written for a special order of Chórtownia. It will be the premiere of this piece - it has not yet been performed live in public (only recorded as part of the Virtual Chórtownia Choir).
Vocal workshops and tutti rehearsals
The event will be held in Gliwice, Poland.
The workshop lessons will be conducted by fantastic singers and vocal technique pedagogues: Barbara Tritt, Damian Suchożebrski, Magda Nogańska and Bartosz Gorzkowski. We anticipate morning section rehearsals in female and male voices. The main workshop aim will be improvement of voice emission and equalization of the choir sound. The participants will also have a chance to arrange individual lessons. Tutti rehearsals and the concerts will be conducted by Łukasz Łoboda.
Participants are required to master their voice parts on their own, as the workshop will focus on perfecting the vocal skills and working on the interpretation of the pieces. Educational materials in the form of sheet music and voice tutorials are available at

Concerts
Two concerts will take place as the final part of the project: the first one on September 2, 2023 in the church of St. Jacek in Bytom-Rozbark, in the parish where Gorczycki was born in 1665. It will be accompanying concert of the 18th International Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki Festival ( which has been held since 2006 and aims to promote classical music, with particular emphasis on the Gorczycki's works). The second one will be held at the Church of St. All Saints in Gliwice on Sunday, September 3, 2023.
