Hollywood Bowl on August 23 and Polish Theater on September 1, 2018

We are delighted to inform all members and guests of the Helena Modjeska Culture Club about the election of the new board (see the names of the new Board of Directors on the Board page - link above) and about our plans for the summer and autumn of 2018. The club will organize receptions with prominent guests, in the form of exclusive meetings held only for club members in private residences (at least four per year), and public events - concerts, film screenings or lectures, including Polish-themed performances or concerts of other organizations (up to eight times per year). For these concerts or performances, the Club will offer free or discounted tickets to its members.

We are starting our 2018-2019 season with two events shared with others - Chopin Piano Concerto at the Hollywood Bowl on August 23 and Polish Theater from Toronto on September 1. Deadlines for RSVP are coming up shortly.

AUGUST 23, 2018 at 8 p.m. CHOPIN CONCERT AT HOLLYWOOD BOWL

The selection of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 (with Sergio Tiempo, piano solo) and Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5 makes up a lovely summer program. The long intermission of over 30 minutes gives time to talk and party - bring your own picnic basket and wine! Low-price tickets are available to groups, so the Club may make a reservation for at least 20 people to sit together in one section of the enormous auditorium and enjoy music under the stars (with the addition of helicopters and coyote howling at times).

Club reservations will be taken to August 1, email Maja Trochimczyk,
Maja.Trochimczyk@gmail.com. The concert is free to members who will RSVP in time,
by August 1, 2018.  https://www.hollywoodbowl.com/events/performances/407/
