После репетиции этого хора в субботу в филармонии я подумал: наверно, из таких сильных мальчишеских голосов вырастали в XVII веке звездные голоса знаменитых кастратов...После экскурсии в Эрмитаж они так устали, а на репетиции откуда ни возьмись у них открылось второе дыхание! пели как будто играли на трубах и тромбонах! силища! В День защиты детей!!!! Вспомните детство! Знаменитый хор мальчиков из Познани, известный до 2003 как "Польские соловьи". В этом составе приезжают впервые. Создан в 1945 году по модели всемирно известных хоров мальчиков церкви Св.Фомы в Лейпциге и Венского хора мальчиков. В программе - католические песнопения и народные песни, музыка И.-С. Баха. Руководитель хора Яцек Сыкульски - композитор, дирижер, кларнетист, считает, что голоса мальчиков как никакие другие предназначены для музыки Барокко и Ренессанса. Разъезжают с гастролями по всему миру. Совсем недавно вернулись из Боливии и Японии The Poznań Boys' Choir gave over 2200 concerts in countries on 4 continents. It took part in numerous prestigious musical festivals and performed world premieres of significant composers in Carnegie Hall, The Berlin Philharmonic and The Vienna Musikverein. During its activity, The Poznan Boys' Choir created a new brand in both Polish and world culture. It revealed its crowning achievements during a maginificent concert in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, opening the Polish Season in France (May, 2003). The Poznan Boys' Choir has been functioning with the modern institutional form, management and Director - Jacek Sykulski. Earlier, it was well recognized in Poland and abroad as "Polish Nightingales". The identity of The Poznan Boys' Choir is based both on the past and the future. The Choir combines nearly half a century of tradition and achievements of the only Choir School in Poland. At the same time, it represents the freshness, as well as the openness to the new tones of the human voice and the original working methods. The Poznan Boys' Choir is strongly interested in challenges and exploring the unknown in the music. Poznan Boys Choir derives from the rich tradition of boys choral singing in Poland. However, it is bent on opening choral singing to modern culture in the broad sense of the term. With full respect of the cultural canon and its European roots, we rejuvenate the sacral performing style of boys\’ choirs, enriching it with the kind of art that is familiar to modern audience. The choir's repertoire comprises mainly masterpieces of the polyphony, the most beautiful compositions written in the 20th and 21st century and premieres. We sing what we really like and what brings genuine joy and value into our listeners\’ hearts. The priority of the institution is to develop the best artistic quality through the introduction of innovative teaching methods while working with the singers. We constantly take up new challenges connected not only with art, but also with each chorister’s personal development. Our activities concerning artistic work are based on unconventional techniques that aim to shape the timbre of the human voice, with simultaneous concern for vocal hygiene. The choir works on the natural sound and new interpretation of music masterpieces (among others Gabrieli, Zieleński, Wacław of Szamotuły, Philips, Tallis, Bach, Bruckner, Szymanowski, Koszewski, Britten, Messiaen, Penderecki, Górecki, Tavener, and Urbaitis). The choir also performs excellent arrangements of traditional Polish carols, early music, soundtracks (Jan A. P. Kaczmarek and others) and popular compositions which constitute a form of creative interaction with the audience. The choir cooperates with excellent composers, orchestras, conductors and music ensembles. In collaboration with contemporary artists it realises projects combining different arts (the “Teledysk” project with Paweł Althamer, the prestigious Vincent laureate-sculpto
