Kapela ze Wsi Warszawa was founded in Warsaw in 1997 under the name "Kapela ze Wsi". In March 1998, it placed second in the Radio Folk Music Competition "Nowa Tradycja" and won the audience award. Since 2000, the ensemble has performed regularly throughout Western Europe - their performance at the Tanz & Folk Fest Rudolstadt was recognized by "Folk World" magazine as the second-best folk performance of that year. In the Kapela's repertoire, traditional folk music - mazurkas and obereks - meets contemporary sounds and instruments.

AUKSO Chamber Orchestra of Tychy under the direction of Marek Mosia was founded by graduates of the Music Academy in Katowice. The ensemble's name comes from Greek and means "growth". The orchestra maintains a permanent lineup and develops both classical repertoire and projects created in collaboration with artists representing various fields of music and art.
