About Christian Culture Festival

Christian Culture Festival was organized for the first time in 1997 on 10th Anniversary of the Logos Theatre. In a sense, it extends the idea of Christian Culture Weeks organized in Poland in 70s and 80s of the last century, which were to become counterpoise to lay media model promoted by the State. Lodz Christian Culture Days were organized in churches all around the city, so as to accommodate the artists, spectacles, exhibitions and projections.

One of such places was the John Paul lecture theatre in the vault of the Assumption of Holy Mother Church in Kościelna Street. This is where the Logos Theatre started, before it was moved to the church in Maria Skłodowska-Curie. It was this church that Archbishop Władysław Ziółek gave to the Lodz artists in 1993, and in which the Centre of Creative Communities’ of Lodz Archdiocese was appointed. It is here that the ‘logistic’ centre of the Festival is located, and where some of the Festival events take place.

Traditionally, the Festival takes place in November, on the first Sunday after All Soul’s Day. It usually lasts for two weeks, during which various event take place – spectacle premiers, other theatres come to Lodz, there are exhibitions of invited artists, performances of choirs and musicians, very often not to be seen anywhere else in Poland at any other time. The Festival programme is the result of the whole year’s work of rev. Waldemar Sondka, the Festival Director, who – using his contacts – invites artists who are interesting, out of the ordinary, noteworthy and creating art perhaps not always religious, but always searching and at the highest level. Care for the level of the Festival offers is a permanent rule, the Logos environment has always wished to provide the Lodz citizens with the possibility of contact with art deprived of parochialism, open to the man and as perfect formally as possible.

The Festival is not an activity that brings profit. Any entrance cards are issued as invitations that are free of charge, and the team of the Logos Theatre and all the people engaged in the Festival organization, act as volunteers. This does not mean that Christian Culture Festival costs nothing. On the contrary, to organize such a cultural event at appropriate level is always connected with costs. Rev. Waldemar Sondka deals with organizing means to secure the Festival events all year round. He manages to gain sponsors (without whom the Festival would not exist) and subsidies from institutions that deal with funding culture (without which the Festival could not develop). All that in order to realize the basic idea of the event that derived from the Lodz Christian Culture Days – to enable anyone who wishes and needs that, to live the Mystery through art. This idea assumes a free of charge participation in all the artistic events, which has been the case since the very beginning of the Festival until today, the only condition is that on the day of the Festival opening, one must queue as long as it takes to get invitations. The only limit to the number of invitations is the capacity of rooms in which the events are organized every day throughout the two weeks of the Festival.

Paweł Kaczmarczyk

One of Poland's pre-eminent jazz pianists from the younger generation, a student of the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music's Jazz Studies program in Katowice, composer, soloist and sideman. He performs with the Janusz Muniak Quartet, Monty Waters/Kazimierz Jonkisz "Energy", and the Rafał Sarnecki Quintet, as well as leading his own trio. Paweł Kaczmarczyk has received many awards at various festivals and competitions: a special distinction at the 2002 edition of the Polish National Review of Jazz and Blues Groups in Gdynia, where he returned to take top honors in 2003; the title of Best Instrumentalist at Poland's Jazz Juniors competition in 2002 an award for the best arrangement at the International Competition for Jazz Groups "JUNIOR JAZZ 2006", in Usti nad Labem (Czech Republic), as well as first place in the "New Hope" category of Jazz Forum Magazine's "Jazz Top" readers' poll from 2004 through 2006. The year 2006 also saw him being awarded a grant from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

In 2001 Paweł Kaczmarczyk established a trio with Michał Barański on bass, and Paweł Dobrowolski on drums. The group draws its inspiration from the work of artists like Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans; the concepts of Brada Mehldau and Wayne Shorter form part of their musical vocabulary as well. It's music that is full of warmth and sensitivity, but with no lack of electrifying dynamics and avant-garde ideas. The trio won first place at the 26th "Jazz Juniors" International Competition for Young and Debuting Jazz Groups (2002), took the "Grand Prix" at the 40th "Jazz on the Oder" Jazz Festival in Wrocław (2002), and was awarded the "Key to a Career" prize at the "Pomeranian Jazz Autumn" festival, as well as winning the 2nd Place "Golden Crocus" award at the Jelenia Góra Jazz Festival, several medals at the "Kultursalen Hörbiger" competition in Vienna (2004), and 1st Place at the "JUNIOR JAZZ 2006" International Competition for Jazz Groups in Usti nad Labem (Czech Republic).

Paweł Kaczmarczyk has performed at a large number jazz festivals, including Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, Jazz en Nord (France), Krakow's "Zaduszki Jazzowe" and "Piwnica pod Baranami" Summer Festival, the Palatia Jazz Festival (Germany), the Lamantin Jazz Festival (Hungary), the International Jazz Pianists' Festival in Kalisz, and many others... He also performs regularly in Poland's finest jazz clubs.

In 2005, the KBD Trio recorded their debut album "Live!", which they are currently promoting through concerts in Poland and abroad.

Paweł Kaczmarczyk has worked with a wide range of musicians, including Janusz Muniak, Adam Pierończyk, Adam Kawończyk, Jorgos Skolias, Monty Waters, Kazimierz Jonkisz, Artur Rojek (Myslovitz), Krzysztof Popek, Cezary Konrad, Tomasz Szukalski, Maciej Strzelczyk, Isham Rusty Jones, Grzegorz Piotrowski, and many others.

Paweł Kaczmarczyk is a winner of the "Melomani" Jazz Society's Jazz Oscars Grand Prix in the "Hope of the Melomani" category for 2005, and the group KBD Trio received Polish Public Television Channel 2's "Album of The Year 2005" award for the CD "Live!".

The magazine "Jazz Forum" conducts a yearly readers' poll known as "Jazz Top", which is a ranking of Poland's jazz musicians and, in a sense, an overview of the country's jazz scene. Earlier this year, the poll results for 2006 were published and Paweł Kaczmarczyk placed highly in the Musician of The Year category (4th, behind Tomasz Stańko, Leszek Możdżer and Janusz Muniak), as well as winning recognition as a composer, leader of an acoustic group, and pianist. What seems most significant, however, is that for the third year in a row he was at the top of the Hope of The Year category, ahead of Aga Zaryan, Marcin Masecki, Maria Sadowska and a number of other artists.
