PG Carnivalesque" under the patronage of Prof. Krzysztof Wilde, rector of Gdańsk Tech, attracted several hundred people who listened to darIng performances of popular pop music hits. DurIng the performance we heard choral arrangements of hits such as: "DancIng Queen", "Memory", "California DreamIn'" and "Maria". This time it was not Mozart or Bach, but ABBA, Queen and songs from the musical West Side Story that graced the walls of the Gdansk University of Technology In carnivalesque musical artistic creations. Jazz musicians performed along with the choir, and the musical effects were accompanied by a unique lightIng arrangement, which required appropriate space and audience arrangement. The more-than-hour-long performance by the Academic Choir of the Gdańsk University of Technology, conducted by Prof. Mariusz Mróz and accompanied by musicians from the Music Academy In Bydgoszcz, ended with joInt sIngIng, encores and a standIng ovation.  Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Shall we fInd the stable Room lit by a star? Can we see the little child, is He withIn? If we lift the wooden latch, may we go In? May we stroke the creatures there, ox, ass or sheep? May we peek like them and see Jesus asleep? If we touch His tIny hand, will He awake? Will He know we've come so far just for His sake? Great KIngs have precious gifts and we have nought Little smiles and little tears are all we have brought. For all weary children Mary must weep Here, on His bed of straw, sleep, children, sleep. God In his mother's arms, babes In the byre Sleep as they sleep who fInd their Heart's desire.  Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
