A family orchestra performing and singing the music of north-eastern Poland, including the traditions of the indigenous inhabitants of Warmia and Masuria, people resettled in these areas after World War II, as well as the musical heritage of the Suwa\u0142ki region and Podlasie.<\/p>\n\n
The Burdalski Family has been making music together since 2020. The direct reason for their shared musical activity was a series of grassroots gatherings of musical families that co-created the ORKIESTRA RADO\u015aCI project, as well as, paradoxically, the period of lockdown during the pandemic. Another important moment in the musical and professional development of the Orchestra and the Family was the invitation to co-create Kaja and Janusz Prusinowski\u2019s four-album project \u201cCztery Domy S\u0142o\u0144ca \u2013 Zima \u2013 Wiosna \u2013 Lato \u2013 Jesie\u0144\u201d (\u201cFour Houses of the Sun \u2013 Winter \u2013 Spring \u2013 Summer \u2013 Autumn\u201d), including preparing the repertoire, recording sessions at Polish Radio studios, and participation in concerts organised by Polish Radio for Children at the Witold Lutos\u0142awski Concert Studio in 2022\u20132024.<\/p>\n\n
