Concert of pre-War Hebrew Tango Under the Patronage of Ms. Dominika Kulczyk
From the very early years, the Jewish Culture Festival has promoted multiculturalism and mutual respect – thus fitting in with the work started years ago by dr. Jan Kulczyk – one of the most important Polish businessmen, but also philanthropists. Since 2016, one of the festival concerts is dedicated to memory.
This year’s concert under the auspices of Ms. Dominika Kulczyk and The Kulczyk Foundation is a great tribute to the cultural cooperation between Poles and Jews in the interwar period. More than 20 Hebrew language versions of the most popular Polish tang were created. It was an idea of the management of the largest Polish record label Syrena Electro, which in the 1930s had its own showroom with records also in Tel Aviv and directed its catalogue also towards Polish-Jewish emigrants.
This repertoire will be presented by Janek Młynarski’s Warsaw Dance Combo in cooperation with the Israeli singer, who has a unique voice, Karen Malka. Multi-instrumentalist Boris Martzinovsky, who will play the accordion – one of the most important instruments in the Warsaw tradition.
This concert, realized in cooperation with Mrs. Dominika Kulczyk, will take place on Sunday, June 30 at 7 p.m. at the Museum of Engineering and Technology and is already the 9th concert dedicated to the memory of dr. Jan Kulczyk. The series was opened on stage at the Tempel Synagogue by Mrs. D. Kulczyk, together with Tad Taube.
