A festival in Indonesia - an artistic journey that had many dimensions: dancing, art and tourism. 2 Indonesian islands: Bali and Java, and, as always, a lot of positive impressions. Concerts in various parts of Poland are always a joy and a great challenge. In addition, our flirtation with jazz is traditional. A visit to TVP in the Halo Polonia program, live. Presentation of the Impresja Podlaskie program. And as always, news: 2 big premieres. Lubelsko-Podlaskie Palindromes and spring, Saturday atmosphere of the third part of Impresja Podlaskie. We are very happy with all short and long presentations. Most importantly, step by step, we are approaching the next Jubilee, this time the 50th anniversary. We are already counting down and we are working intensively as always. Thank you for being with us! We wish everyone who visits us as many artistic impressions as possible and, most importantly, health and joy in the New Year.
