<p align="center"><b>Cappella Gedanensis from Gdansk Delights Audience in Zagreb</b></p>
<p>Cappella 
  Gedanensis held a Christmas concert on 16 December 1999 in the "Vatroslav Lisinski" 
  concert hall in Zagreb. The audience was delighted with the perfection of their 
  performance of folk Christmas carols.</p>
<p>Cappella 
  Gedanensis was founded in 1981, and most of the songs on their repertoire are 
  baroque compositions from Gdansk, something in which this ensemble excels. The 
  musicians and musicologists of the troupe prepared several songs which they 
  have also issued in a special publication, making them more accessible to the 
  broader public. In addition to Polish carols, the ensemble also performs baroque, 
  renaissance and classicist ones composed by Italian, German and French artists.</p>
<p>Cappella 
  Gedanensis has held concerts at numerous European music festivals in Germany, 
  Austria, Italy, Finland, and in the United States, China and Israel. Among the 
  most prominent members of their audience are royal families and heads of states, 
  and they particularly cherish the memory of performing for Pope John Paul II 
  - to whom they dedicated their CD of Polish Christmas carols.</p>
<p>The 
  carols that Cappella Gedanensis performed in Zagreb are a mixture of solemn 
  and amusing sounds, full of the joy and pleasure of folk dances such as the 
  mazurka, Polonaise and the like whose main features are charm and simplicity.</p>
<p>The concert held by Cappella Gedanensis from Gdansk was sponsored by the Archbishop 
  of Zagreb, Monsignor Josip Bozanic, and the organisers of the event were the 
  Polish Embassy and the Franciscan Cultural Centre from Gdansk. PLIVA d.d. sponsored 
  and helped organise the event as well.</p>
