Connecticut Virtuosi to Present 2022 Polish Christmas Concert

By David Salazar

The Connecticut Virtuosi will present its Annual Polish Christmas Concert at Central Connecticut University on Dec. 11, 2022.

Soprano Jurate Svedaite-Waller will headline, performing Christmas arias and songs. Joining her will be the Moniuszko Choir and conductor Hugh Keelan. The showcase will also feature Mieczyslaw Karlowicz’s Violin Concert in A Major, Op. 8, with Adrian Sylveen as the soloist.

Svedaite-Waller has performed with such organizations as the Lithuanian National Chamber Orchestra, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, Connecticut Lyric Opera, Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra, Connecticut Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, Prolirica de Antioquia (Colombia), Kaunas (Lithuania) Chamber Orchestra, and Classical Orchestra of Piła, among others.

Last year’s performance took place on Dec. 17 at the First Church of Christ Congregational in New Britain and featured pianist Nathaniel Baker and flutist Jill Mauer Davis. That showcase included music by Chopin and arrangements by Polish composer Jakub Kowalewski.

The Dec. 11 showcase is a free-admission event.
