Join Paderewski Symphony Orchestra for an extraordinary celebration of the enduring contributions of Polish artists, composers, and visionaries to the American story.
Presented as part of America’s 250th anniversary commemoration this one-night-only concert at Chicago’s Orchestra Hall will bring together acclaimed performers from Poland and the United States for an unforgettable evening of music, culture, and shared heritage.
Experience the soul of Poland, the spirit of America, and the powerful connection between them.
"The world already knows Poland for how it survived. Through PaSO, we can remind the world of how Poland has enriched it."
-Adam Kamieniak, Chairman of the Board
Poland’s gift to America is not only a story of resilience, but of beauty, imagination, and cultural achievement.
Through music, Polish artists and composers have carried forward a spirit shaped by history, freedom, faith, and hope — offering America not only extraordinary talent, but a deeper understanding of what culture can preserve and inspire.
On this stage, that legacy becomes living and present. Each featured artist helps tell a broader story: of Polish soul meeting American spirit, of heritage finding new expression, and of music continuing to build bridges between nations, generations, and communities.
