Get on the train. Vol. 2 in Olivia Garden. That’s what it sounded like!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

It was an amazing concert of combined choirs! The Olivia Centre Choir under the direction of Wiktoria Pagieła and the Chamber Choir under the direction of Małgorzata Kuchtyk have once again invited you to join us on a musical journey. This time we were swaying to the rhythm of hits in Olivia Garden.

 

The repertoire includes well-known and popular pieces from the genre of popular music, sung to the accompaniment of Adam Pietrzak – piano / keyboards and Jarosław Stokowski – double bass / bass guitar. This train takes you on a journey without a ticket!

 

About the Chamber Choir
We are a vocal-instrumental ensemble. We play and sing songs by various authors and in different musical styles – from gospel to the most popular songs of The Beatles or Stevie Wonder. Our mission is to have fun and infect others with passion and energy. The beginnings of the choir date back to 2007, but we have been singing in the form we have been singing in today since 2009. During this time, we played in various places – the Baltic Philharmonic, the cultural centre in Kartuzy, the Sheraton Hotel, the Forest Opera, cafes and restaurants. In 2011 we released the album “Tuesday 17.30”, which includes m.in. “A Song Is Good for Everything” by the Old Men’s Cabaret or the jazz standard “On the Sunny Side of the Street”. In January 2017 we premiered our latest album “10/20”, where we present our arrangements of songs such as “Sweet dreams” by Eurythmics or “Hotel California” by Eagles.

Olivia ART. This is how art happens

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

We cordially invite you to the next, 26. already the exhibition of the Olivia ART series. This time, in the lobby of Olivia Star, we will present the works of the Tri-City artist,
Maja Mach-Jodłowska.
 Maja is a digital artist, painter and talented ceramicist. On a daily basis, she is a co-owner of Talkersi.pl – a language school that is famous for its interesting, original method of instant English learning.

 

– I found my passion for creating in myself as a child. I draw inspiration from colours and shapes. I’m fascinated by unpredictable combinations because they bring an element of surprise and a breath of fresh air. The creative process drives me to life. It gives me joy, a sense of accomplishment and fills me with energy – says the artist. And we invite you, see for yourself!

 

Admission to the exhibition is free.

 

The exhibition in the lobby of Olivia Star is open to visitors from 19 May 2023.

About the Olivia ART project

 

The Olivia ART project was initiated many years ago with chamber concerts of the Olivia Camerata series. Right after that, we decided to present in Olivia not only the outstanding musicians of the Tri-City, but also other artists – painters, sculptors, photographers. We have opened a mini-gallery open to all guests in the lobby of our most representative building, Olivia Star. It is here that you can admire the works of Pomeranian artists for many years. Among them are employees of Olivia’s companies…

 In 2022, as many as 5 exhibitions presented in the Olivia Star lobby were co-organized by our Photography Club. Its members used the knowledge gained during workshops with experts to amaze the effect of their creative work – places, events, and people captured in the frames. Together with them, we invited residents and residents of the Tri-City to the exhibitions “Gdańsk Unobvious”, “Good Tony: Meet Olivia’s Choir”, “Sea You” (reportage photography), “Olive in Olivia” (landscape photography), “12 Shades of Olivia” (architecture photography).

 

From mid-March this year. on Olivia’s patio we presented, as part of the Olivia ART project fragment of the Warriors collection, by a Gdańsk sculptor, prof. Academy of Fine Arts of Tomasz Sobisz, which has many unique works exhibited in various parts of Europe.
