Vabank Express. Around the world in 80 minutes | WOAK Orchestra Vabank concert

Get ready for an adventure! A musical journey into the unknown is coming, guided by the musicians of the WOAK Vabank Orchestra and its conductor Waldemar Urbański! During the concert “Vabank Express. Around the world in 80 minutes,” the rhythm and pace of our journey will be set by musical styles, and each stop will be a song that transports us to a different corner of the world.

That evening, we will take you on an emotional musical escapade, during which we will reach the farthest corners of the globe. In the WOAK auditorium, you will hear Argentine tango, hot Brazilian samba, and spirited French cancan. Our musical train will pass through the “Persian market,” stop in “Tokyo,” squeeze through “Waterloo,” and welcome aboard “Fiddler on the Roof” sipping “Greek wine.” Departure is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. from platform 5! Reserve your time, buy your tickets, and come along with us!

The WOAK Vabank Orchestra has been operating at the Provincial Center for Cultural Animation since 2023. It is an artistically bold ensemble conducted by Waldemar Urbański. Neither the conductor nor the instrumentalists are afraid of experimentation – they consistently break the stereotypical image of a brass band. Their concerts are full of energy, avant-garde ideas, and the sincere joy of playing together.uzykowania, co zyskuje żywiołowe reakcje publiczności zarówno w Toruniu, jak i w całym regionie.
