The Music: A Polish Powerhouse

The Golec Uorkiestra is awesome. It's a Polish folk-rock band featuring about 10 members. Founded in 1998 by two brothers  Paweł and Łukasz Golec – Paul and Luke.

They will perform Sunday, February 1, 7PM at Sweetest Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 4440 Russell St., Detroit. Tickets are $48 and are available day of the concert. Every penny is well worth it.

The Golec' come from a very musical family. Father plays clarinet while the mother is a folk narrator. Brother Rafel started his own rock band in southern Poland from whence the group hails.

 In an address given on June 15, 2001 at Warsaw University, president George W. Bush mentioned one of group's songs, saying: "Today's own Poland's orchestra called Golec's, is telling the world, "On that wheatfield, I'm gonna build my San Francisco; over that molehill, I'm gonna build my bank."

This is a Christmas Concert that features the entire group in costumes. In an amazing church that could rival any sacred building in Rome. The vocals are powerful and very clear. Give it a listen.

The acoustics at Sweetest Heart of Mary are awesome. This is the perfect venue to see this group. The sound will totally envelope you and seep into your pours, which it should because it is just that wonderful. Expand your horizons. Take it in.
