The concert took place in the hospitable Club Malwa in the Czerwony Prądnik district in Kraków. The Choir Agricola sung religious and patriotic songs. When the choir started to sing 'Czerwone maki na Monte Cassino' the audience started to sing together with the choir. During the concert there was a presentation about the liberation of Breda by the 1st Polish Tank Division of General Maczek. Marek Archamowicz was a lecturer. The presentation was accompanied with pictures and films related to the festivities of the 70th anniversary of Breda and Oosterhout on the Polish Honorary Army Cemeteries, in which the Choir Agricola took part during the last trip to the Netherlands.

The choir is not only about music and singing together. It is also about interesting people and their passions. Our colleague Jan spoke about the activities of his foundation www.childrenindia.org. The foundation tries to help children in South India. It has built a school in the town Alanchy, district Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, South India and provided it with furniture. We have listened with a great deal of interest to his lecture and have seen hundreds of photo's from Jan's last 3 visits in India.
