Additional information

The first meeting on September 5, 2024.

The first hour is dedicated to singing, and the second hour is time for moms with their children.

The Moms’ Choir is a place where moms sing together and children accompany them. Classes are held before noon. That’s when moms are eager to leave the house anyway and miss the company of other adults.

The Moms’ Choir is a nationwide initiative created by Malgorzata Zawilska-Rospędek to support moms during pregnancy and the first years of their children’s lives. You don’t have to know how to sing to have fun and benefit from the beneficial effects of singing on the body and psyche.

The Moms Choir is:

  • the company of other moms at a similar stage of life
  • opportunity for vocal development
  • understanding of diaper changes, feedings, crying, lateness, sudden early exits and other hardships of maternal life
  • a forum for exchanging ideas, asking for advice and sharing joys
  • additional activities, such as: clothing and toy exchanges, support in returning to work

Why we sing:

  • Because singing has therapeutic properties. And it doesn’t have to be beautiful singing, for a grade or for an audience. All you have to do is take a breath, open your mouth and…. let it flow!
  • Because you can sing in a group of any size, and we need a group
  • because we want to grow, and new songs give us (and our children) this opportunity
  • because we need activities for ourselves
  • because some of us loved to sing and are eager to return to an old passion

The leader of the group is Adrianna Zloch.

Leader:
Asia Czajkowska – singer, songwriter, voice enthusiast, vocal coach, philologist-language teacher with over 20 years of experience on stage and 15 years of teaching. She has received scholarships from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, as well as from her hometown of Toruń. Winner of the 40th International Meeting of Jazz Vocalists in Zamosc.
In terms of performance, she is not intimidated by any genre or style of music (except maybe disco polo). She sings in both white voice and classical – from poetic song, musical and Hasidic songs, to rock. On the other hand, jazz, soul and blues are closest to her heart.
She has completed many courses and workshops for both vocalists and vocal coaches, and has taken a number of one-on-one lessons, where she learned from some of the greatest authorities in singing, interpretation, improvisation, vocal emission and speech therapy – to name a few: Kim Chandler, Mirabai Daniels, Anna Gadt, Sissy Handler, Grzegorz Karnas, Sibel Kose, Sonia Lachowolska, Kevin Mahogany (RIP), Ewelina Mendala-Kwoczek, Wojciech Myrczek, Hubert Noe, Dominika Płonka, Barbara Sambor, Roger Treece, Ingo Titze, Daniel Zangger Borch and many others. He is constantly updating his knowledge and never stops searching.
