In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Nowodworski Foundation, we invite you to a special event that blends tradition, culture, and passion.

On stage, alongside other distinguished artists, such as the Ensemble Con Brio de Montreal, we will feature Tomasz Konieczny – an exceptional bass-baritone whose voice has brought the glory of Poland to the world’s most prestigious stages, and who is currently captivating audiences at the Metropolitan Opera as Don Pizarro in Fidelio. His talent and charisma have earned him worldwide recognition.

All of this will unfold in the enchanting setting of the Bronxville Women’s Club, further enriched by a performance by the Polish Folk Dance Company. After the artistic program, DJ Tomasz will lead us into a lively dance celebration, ensuring that this evening will be unforgettable.

*Welcome to the Bronxville Women’s Club. Located just 15 miles north of Midtown Manhattan, Bronxville is a charming English-style village nestled along the banks of the Bronx River in southern Westchester. Despite its small size—only one square mile—this village has a unique energy that extends far beyond its dimensions. The Club is within walking distance of the Metro-North station.
