BOK-MCC invites you to the May celebrations

On Saturday, 1 May, the Orzeł cinema auditorium will host a concert entitled “For Those Who Have Passed Away – Light a Candle”. The Poeticon band will perform. The group will present songs by, among others, Michael Jackson, The Doors, Elvis Presley, Anna Jantar and Anna German. The following will appear on stage: Ola Bojanowska, Paulina Kordac, Agata Wagner, Natalia Żebrowska, Łukasz Ludwikowski, Paweł Bojanowski, Bartek Frączkiewicz and the band’s supervisor Anna Frączkiewicz.

On 2 May, we will celebrate the Flag Day of the Republic of Poland. The ceremony in the Market Square, beginning at 12:00, will be enhanced by the 23rd Silesian Artillery Brigade.

On Monday, 3 May, at 11:30, a Mass for the Homeland will be celebrated at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Castle Square). At 14:00, the Patriotic May Picnic will begin at the MOSiR Water and Sports Centre. The programme includes, among other things, grilling with Radek, Adrenalina Park, horse rides and other attractions.

On 3 May, at the Amphitheatre on Spacerowa Street, the Polish-Norwegian group De Press will perform. The band was founded in 1980 by Andrzej Dziubek, a Polish emigrant. Dziubek is a colourful figure: a highlander, painter, sculptor, lyricist and, above all, musician. De Press, playing punk rock blended with folk and highland rhythms from the Tatra Mountains, paved the way for such bands as Piersi, Golec uOrkiestra, Kapela, Brathanki and Zakopower. The band’s most popular songs include “Potargano chałpa”, “Bo jo cie kochom”, “Cy bocycie Świnty Ojce” and “Cyrwone gorole”. At the end of 2009, the group recorded the album “Myśmy rebelianci”, which featured songs dedicated to the Cursed Soldiers.

The concert begins at 19:00. Jacek “Orzeł” Band will play as the support act.
