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. less

Marble Sounds - Leave a Light On
Lyrics:
Sure I can leave a light on
Let it shine on
Leave it till dawn
Sure I can leave a light on
Leave a light on for you
It takes two to find a way out
There is no doubt
I will be around
If you have lost the right track
Then I'll lead you right back
Don't search to find
Don't smile just to be nice
Don't run just to get there on time
Be amazed
Simply blown away
Live on without
Getting off your cloud
Sure I can leave a light on
Leave a light on for you
Sure I can play a quiet song
I could just hum
Beat a soft drum
Sure I can play a quiet song
Play a quiet song for you
It takes you to make my heart sing
To let air in
And keep breathing
It takes two to keep the vibe true
I am waiting for you
It struck me again
We both look the same
But what you make
Appears in all shapes
