Mazowsze (folk group)

Information

"Mazowsze" is one of the largest artistic groups in the world, reaching for the wealth of national dances, songs, songs and customs. The name of the group comes from the central region of Poland - Mazovia, but the repertoire of "Mazowsze" also includes folklore of other regions. The ensemble consists of a ballet, choir and symphony orchestra. The melodies come from 39 ethnographic regions of Poland and from around the world. The band's concerts are always a great artistic spectacle, combining dance, singing and music. It is a coherent presentation of national and folk culture from various regions of Poland. All this makes the band's work recognizable not only in Poland, but also abroad. Since 2009, the headquarters of the group is the folklore center "Matecznik Mazowsze". The main element of the facility is a modern entertainment and educational hall, which can accommodate 563 spectators at a time. The team was established on January 2, 1949 by an order of the Minister of Culture, Stefan Dybowski. For 50 years its organizer was the Ministry of Culture and Art, later the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, and from 1999 this role was taken over by the Mazowieckie Voivodeship Self-Government.
