The Permanent Chair of Polish Culture at Canisius University presents a concert featuring Polish operatic soprano, Dominika Zamara, and the 100+ voices of the Combined Chorus of the Polish Singers Alliance of America.
Soprano Dominika Zamara gained musical recognition early in her native Poland. After graduating from Wrocław University of Music, she went to Italy in pursuit of higher artistic study. Having won a scholarship from the Verona State Conservatory, she performed in masterclasses with some of Italy’s most highly regarded operatic teachers.
Her operatic debut took place in 2010 as Mimi, in Puccini’s “La Boheme” under the direction of Maestro De Mori. Her outstanding vocal qualities, dynamic stage presence, and versatility in multiple genres quickly led to international performances across the globe — Europe, USA, Mexico, Argentina, China, South Korea and Australia. Ms. Zamara will perform works by Mozart, Verdi, Chopin, Moniuszko, and the ever popular “Habanera” from Bizet’s “Carmen.”
The concert, celebrating the 250th anniversary of America and the Alliance’s 137th year, will also include performances by the top-scoring choirs in a competition held on Saturday. The combined chorus will perform music of Kosciuszko, Walenty Bonk, celebrating Pulaski, Peter Gorecki’s spectacular “Processionale” and Walkiewicz/Witakowski’s “Gora Piesn,” the anthem of the Polish Singers Alliance.
A free will offering will be taken to benefit the Polish Singers Alliance and Polish Arts Club of Buffalo scholarship funds.
