Event description:
On the occasion of the first anniversary of the Constitution of 3 May 1791, Fr. Karpiński published a volume of Pious Songs in Supraśl near Białystok. Today, 230 years later, a male singing group operating in one of the districts of Białystok - Starosielskie Bractwo Śpiewacze wants to commemorate this important anniversary for all Poles through a concert including Pious Songs by Fr. Karpiński in historically informed studies with the participation of Witold Broda and Monika Horodek. The project is a continuation of work on rediscovering and popularising songs that have not been musically edited and published so far and which contain a lot of religious and patriotic content that is relevant and important for Poles today. As the last King of Poland, Stanisław August Poniatowski, said, "These songs, with time becoming a common voice, will teach the nation its obligations towards God and people, pure customs and love for the homeland."
