POLONIA CHOIR WINS THE CARDINAL HLONDA\u2019S TROPHY<\/p>\n

Hurray to Polish Song! It\u2019s the motto of the Polish Singers of America, which organizes a convention of Polish folklore choirs in North America every three years. This year the convention was scheduled for May 25-28, 2017 in beautiful Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The Polonia Choir, which is a member of the PSA for a number of years, participated in this convention for the first time. We also took part in the choir competition which is a traditional part of the convention. In preparation for this competition, we worked very hard for six months under the watchful eye and ear of our Music Director Ms. Oksana Ostashevska. Our Choir won first place in the mixed choirs category and first place in the general category as well we received\u00a0 the Cardinal Hlonda\u2019s trophy which was established by the Polish government in 1933.<\/p>\n

Beside the competition, the Polonia choir participated in a solemn mass where all the choirs sang together and in the Gala concert. During that concert, to commemorate the 150th birthday of Canada, we presented Leonard\u2019s Cohen Hallelujah<\/em> in an arrangement for choir in four parts by Oksana Ostashevska<\/p>\n
