2025 Festival Lineup

Sokoły - Łowiczanie Ensemble for Kids

SOKOLY (“Falcons” in Polish) is a team of young performers who present traditional dances and songs of Poland. The group was founded in April 2015 under the umbrella of Łowiczanie Polish Folk Dance Ensemble. Group was co-founded by Gosia Wojciechowska and Piotr Irby, but it would not have survived the covid and later years without Kasia Hudack, their wonderful music director and singing teacher.
Sokoły Ensemble welcomes kids from 5 year old and up. Their mission is to introduce children and teens to Polish folk traditions and to encourage their desire to promote Polish heritage. All performers are provided with the richly-ornamented authentic national and regional costumes of Poland.

Chór Wujów

Chór Wujów (The Choir of Uncles) is a fun, one-off project by a group of friends who have come together to pay tribute to the golden years of Polish music. They will be joined on stage by special guests to perform a curated selection of covers that we all know and love. Get ready for a great time!

Koraci Croatian Folklore Ensemble

Group from San Jose, California performing dances and songs from regions all over Croatia. In the Croatian language, Koraci means steps, an allusion to both the steps one takes when dancing and the strides one has to make when climbing from one level to the next.

Suchar

You might find this AI generated description of the name pretty accurate: If a band calls itself “Suchar”, especially from a place like the Bay Area where irony and art often intersect, they might be poking fun at musical clichés.

The Scarlets

Bay-Area based teen cover band who bring a fresh life to rock music with their raw talent and fearless stage presence. With Vicki on vocals, Isabela on guitar, Daniel on bass, and Francisco on drums, they bring youthful energy and well-crafted musicianship to the stage.
