One with the Whale
2024-08-31 18:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Copernicus Center, 5216 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, 60630, United States
One with the Whale – doc.**
“ONE WITH THE WHALE is a heartfelt, intelligent, thought-provoking film. It shows that the biggest issue we face as humans today is not really climate change itself, but rather how we respond to the challenge.” Economist’s Film Critic
Native ways of life, especially subsistence whale hunting, are controversial and not widely understood. But the landscape is changing, and the time is ripe for ONE WITH THE WHALE to expose the never-ending waves of colonization, racism, and resulting intergenerational trauma Alaska Native and global Indigenous communities have been forced to endure and are still fighting to this day. ONE WITH THE WHALE is a film aimed at breaking down barriers, and building bridges while showing the human side of Indigenous lifeways that have survived for thousands of years, as we fight for a more just world.

Music Studio by Eliza
The Music Studio educates children from 6 years of age through adults. They offer mainly individual vocal classes, but also choir classes for children in two age groups 6-9 years and 10-16 years. The studio also offers instrumental classes.
During vocal classes, students learn, first of all, correct breathing, diction, intonation, but also song interpretation. An important element are also classes with a microphone so that you can thoroughly prepare for stage performances, which are also available for studio students.
The fun of choir is learning to work in a team and singing as a group, also split into multiple voices. These activities are very helpful in the development of hearing. In the younger group of the chorus, the activities are also about the basics of music and rhythm. Children learn the names of the notes and their position on the five lines, the term musical notes. They also have occasions for short rhythmic exercises.
Music Studio by Eliza Idec takes part in many concerts, festivals and cultural events where they present their skills. The studio has a forge of young talents. Many singers have won main prizes in competitions such as the Polish Song Festival in Chicago, Got Talent or school competitions. The students often support local initiatives with their performances, and every year they take part in WOSP or Wianki organized by the You Can be my Angel Foundation

LAJKONIK
POLISH SONG AND DANCE ENSEMBLE
For 33 years, the dancers of the Lajkonik Song and Dance Ensemble have promoted Polish folk culture through artful dances and passionate songs. Belonging to the Holy Trinity Polish Mission and under the patronage of the Polish National Alliance Group 3241, the troupe has blossomed from a mere 12 dancers to over 100 members in five different age groups.
The founder and first director was the late Fr. Władysław Gowin, SChr. Currently, the director is Fr. Andrzej Totzke, SChr. The group was cofounded by choreographers Ewa and Marek Kuś, who worked with Lajkonik until 1997. In May 1997, Halina Misterka became the artistic director of the group. Classes are held under the supervision of three choreographers: Małgorzata Łyda, Patrycja Cyran, and Halina Misterka, and two accompanists, of whom Marta Dudek is the music director. The group also presents Swing and Zorba, choreographed by Jakub Zajączkowski, a Lajkonik alumn. Maria Grzebień serves as administrative manager, and Anna Węgrzyn is in charge of the wardrobe.
The passion and dedication of these young performers has garnered them support from an increasing circle of friends, supporters, and sponsors. Thanks to their help, Lajkonik can now perform several choreographies in costumes from various regions of Poland.
The Lajkonik dancers have graced many stages including those of the Chicago History Museum, Chicago Public Libraries, Chicago Cultural Center, Children’s Museum, Daley Plaza, Taste of Chicago, Millennium Park, Nave Pier, and every year since 1997, the Polish Fest in Milwaukee. Since 1998, Lajkonik has presented well-attended all ensemble, annual concerts, and has been referred to as “a gem among Polish folklore groups.”
Lajkonik has represented the Chicago Polish community in Poland – nine times at the International Polish Folk Dance Festival in Rzeszow and four times at the International Children Folk Dance Festival in Iwonicz Zdroj. Among other travels, the Representative group performed across Brazil in June 2024, and Mały Lajkonik participated in July in the International Scouts Festival in Kielce, Poland.
Through hard work, commitment, and perseverance, the members of Lajkonik hope to promote and preserve Polish culture and tradition for years to come.

School of Rock Chicago
2024-08-31 14:30 - 16:30 | Copernicus Center, 5216 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, 60630, United States
GENRE: Rock | Rock n’ Roll
School of Rock is a performance-based music school for kids aged 8-18, located in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. Since 2006, we have been training Chicago’s next generation of rock and roll stars.
Our School of Rock Show Team, representing the best of our students, plays throughout the city at numerous street festivals and block parties, and provides tour support for national and regional acts at local rock venues. Students must audition to be selected for the exclusive Show Team, which performs a mix of great rock songs from a variety of eras and styles. Last year, the set list included songs from Heart, Boston, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Arctic Monkeys, Elle King, The Who, and many more.
A School of Rock set is an amazing thing to watch – our students bring the rock harder than most “pro” bands they share the stage with – and we have become a yearly fixture at many local summer festivals, including Taste of Chicago, Milwaukee Summerfest, BenFest, Wicker Park Fest and Retro on Roscoe. We have also played many local Chicago rock clubs, such as Metro, Reggie’s, Schuba’s, Buddy Guy’s Legends, Kinetic Playground and Beat Kitchen, and provided tour support for artists such as REO Speedwagon, Amanda Palmer, Uli John Roth, Martin Barre, and Corky Laing plays Mountain.
The School of Rock Show Team students enchant older rock fans with their musical skill, and mesmerize younger audiences with their infectious exuberance. Chicagoist had this to say about our students’ performance at Riot Fest in 2016:

Those wacky but soulful Blooze Brothers are on the loose again! Hotly pursued by their lovely Parole Officers, the boys sense that a trap is being laid. As the band tears into the opening number their parole officers bait the trap with a dance routine that is sure to reel the boys in. Luckily, the Blooze Mobile has been cornered by your local police and is escorted toward the stage. As the chase ends Jake & Elwood storm the stage. With the audience in-hand we go back to the music, fun, and excitement of Joliet Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (Dan Akroyd) the Blues Brothers.
This high powered choreographed 12 piece show band covers music from the 40’s to Top 10, Swing, Motown, Soul, R&B, Classic Rock, and of course the music and crazy antics of the famous original Blues Brothers.
Each year, the Blooze Brothers and their band perform to over ½ million excited fans of all ages. The band has been acknowledged as the Nation’s #1 Blues Brothers Tribute Band! Show after show the band closes to standing ovations and is routinely booked years in advance. The band has shared the stage and performed with major Headliners…ZZ Top, The Supremes, Lonestar, Oak Ridge Boys, Doobie Brothers, Weird Al Yankovic, to name a few. The Blooze Brothers have recorded two live CD’s, and a live concert VIDEO DVD.
All shows open with Jake & Elwood in the 1974 Dodge Monaco Blues Mobile Replica. Join the fun at this year’s Taste of Polonia Festival in Chicago.

Chicago Stories. The Rise and Fall of the Mail Order Giants – doc. (WTTW)**
In the late nineteenth century, Chicago’s location at the center of the country where railroads and industries converged made it an ideal location for entrepreneurs looking to make a buck – or millions of them. Aaron Montgomery Ward and Richard Warren Sears did just that. Each created a mail order catalog that evolved into a retail icon, changing American consumer habits along the way. While Sears and Montgomery Ward’s innovative ways of operating led to their rise as the Amazon of their time, new innovations would contribute to their decline a century later.

Chicago Stories. Candy Capital – doc. (WTTW)**
Chicago famously has a sweet tooth, and why wouldn’t it? For much of the twentieth century, Chicago reigned supreme as the “Candy Capital of the World.” From Cracker Jack and M&Ms, to Snickers and Lemon Heads, many of the world’s most well-known sweets originated in the city. At its peak, 100 Chicago candy companies, including Wrigley, Mars, and Ferrara produced a third of all candy in the United States and employed more than 25,000 people. But however all-American this world of confection may appear; it was immigrants who came to Chicago in the nineteenth century who helped mold the industry.

Tributosaurus Becomes The Police
2024-08-30 20:30 - 22:00 | Copernicus Center, 5216 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, 60630, United States
For the last decade, Tributosaurus has been paying homage to a different artist once every month.
Our goal is to exactly re-create the sounds of the original recordings as closely as possible, whatever that may entail.
Consequently, the core members of the group have become incredibly adept at designing sounds, transcribing performances, recognizing and creating widely varied arrangements — managing to do this with a completely new catalog of material every show. Every month we feature a wide array of guests, including horn sections, string sections, ethnic instruments and ensembles, multiple guitarists and keyboardists, and many singers both lead and supporting. This has put us in the unique position of having a direct line to the largest network of top-flight players in Chicago, all of whom know us and thankfully jump to work with us. Our musical community expands and grows closer, monthly. The Tributosaurus core has become the ultimate musical chameleon, able to jump from style to style, from ensemble to ensemble easily. We know and listen to each other attentively, which makes each of our live performances sound like a BAND, as opposed to a group of random assembled players. It’s rock and roll, and it has to feel right. Of course, what really makes the project work is our great love and respect of the music. The material is treated with reverence, as an orchestra treats the classical canon. We love what we do, and we have more fun than ought to be legal every time we play.
