An unusual concert of Polish-Italian heart touched listeners
Chorus of the Italian town of Orbassano partner hosted in ełk on 7-8 July. On Saturday, together with Italian stars singers Counterpoint choir ełk County, during a concert in the Church of the sacred heart of Jesus. But on Sunday at 8:00 pm. 10.00 both choruses have provided housing the Holy Mass.

Saturday's concert was one of a kind. Both choirs sang together for the first time, but certainly not the last. In October, in fact, plan to visit ełckie Counterpoint in Orbassano, where chórzyści will have the opportunity to work together again. There was little time to prepare and the common rozśpiewanie, but the concert, participants at the highest level.

During the concert we heard such songs as: Ave Verum (W.A. Mozart), O Lord, from the family of the roof (Giuseppe Verdi), Si ridesti il leon di Castiglia (Giuseppe Verdi), Barcarola (Giuseppe Verdi), Maggio-may (Marco Maiero) Reses here (J. C. Calderon), Moon River (Henry Mancini), The lion sleeps tonight (The Tokens), Adiemus (Karl Jenkins), Va pensiero sull'ali dorate (Guseppe Verdi). They were applauded, emotion and, of course, ask the public about bis.

Although both the choirs share the language barrier English is an Italian, and so communication of music seemed to be not affected. During one of the meetings, quite spontaneously and after a quick science text, both choirs sang along in Polish "Going girl to chick" ... Because, as he would say Richard Wagner "music is the beginning and the end of all speech".

Guests of Roma in their spare time they visited our city, m.in: Center, Park Square, John Paul II, a sports park, a park of Copernicus – and from there walk the promenade along the shore of Ełckie converted to square with Rusałka. and Sun-dial. Orbassano friends before leaving that city made a big impression on them. We feel well and freely, that's why we gladly stood up early in the morning and before the start of the trial while others walked around the streets of the Centre – at a time when the city slowly because of the night.

In the evening, guests from Orbassano also took part in the Festival of pyrotechnic Arts "Elk, fire and water".

Cooperation between Elk and Orbassano lasts from 2010.
