Lincolnwood Chamber Orchestra at Taste of Polonia

“Poland Remembered”

In collaboration with the Chicago Chopin Society

A celebration of Polish heritage, musical legacy, and cultural exchange.

Program Highlights

• Works of Chopin, Paderewski, and Kościuszko

• Waltz from Andrzej Wajda’s film Promised Land

• Music by Jaroslaw Gołembiowski

On Labor Day, the Lincolnwood Chamber Orchestra performs “Poland Remembered” in the historic Copernicus Center Gateway Theatre — a program spanning centuries of Polish musical expression. From the poetic lyricism of Chopin and the patriotic spirit of Paderewski to the cinematic world of Wajda and the contemporary voice of Jaroslaw Gołembiowski, this concert evokes a rich landscape of beauty, power, longing, and nature.

Audiences are invited to experience the orchestra in two ways: first in an open rehearsal, offering a rare glimpse into how musicians shape and refine a performance, and then in a full concert that brings these works vividly to life. Together, they illuminate how Poland’s musical heritage continues to resonate deeply with performers and listeners alike.
