During the concert, the choir's repertoire included: the choral chant "Kyrie" from the 8th Missa de Angelis, the Kashubian-language piece "M贸j 脫jcze" by contemporary Polish composer Marek Raczy艅ski, the poignant "碍辞艂测蝉补苍办补" to words by Krzysztof Kamil Baczy艅ski, followed by the unusual composition "Eli, eli" translated as "My God, my God, why did you abandon me" by Hungarian composer Gyorgy Deak-Bardos. At the end of the performance, the choir, together with the pianist, Dr hab. Robert Adamczak, Professor at UAM performed two very graceful sacred compositions 鈥� "Clare benediction" by the contemporary British composer John Rutter and "Ave verum" from "Stabat Mater" by the contemporary Welsh artist, Karl Jenkins.
