The Lira Ensemble

 

The only professional performing arts company in the United States specializing in Polish music, song and dance…

A federally recognized charity, founded in 1965, that produces critically acclaimed concerts across the Midwest

That has made six concert tours of Poland and is artist-in-residence at Loyola University Chicago

 

 asks your support to create the first-ever

Broadway-style musical revue of Polish song and dance:

  

 to be presented in major theaters around the US and Canada and shown on public television

to generate funds to support Polish-American cultural and community projects.

 

Your support of this Lira project will have a

lasting impact on the Polish-American community.

 


The purpose of the project is to:

  • Bring the best of Polish music and dance into the American mainstream
  • Improve the image of Polish Americans, Poles in America and the Polish nation
  • Enhance your image as a professional or business person of Polish-American heritage
  • Create a fund to support the Polish arts in the United States and other Polish-American projects

This Lira Ensemble project will be implemented in Five Phases:

  • Phase One - four performances of ZaprasZamy! at the Rosemont Theatre in suburban Chicago
  • Phase Two - ZaprasZamy! video & CD sold nationally; video presented on public television…
  • Phase Three - national tour of ZaprasZamy! Each week on the road has the potential of earning at least $100,000 over costs. This money creates the Lira Fund for Polish Culture in America to support quality Polish-American projects…
  • Phase Four - ZaprasZamy! presented in Poland and other countries; national touring continues…
  • Phase Five - premiere of ZaprasZamy II! The process starts all over again, generating more funds for Polish-American projects.

The cost of Phase One is $1,250,000. The success of Phase One will fund Phase Two and so on.

The Lira Ensemble has already raised nearly $700,000 - a remarkable achievement.
