W ostatni weekend koncertowy drugiej trasy „Pieśni współczesnych” dojechał do nas Fryderyk - Projekt Artystyczny Roku.
Potwierdzeniem tego była wyprzedana trasa, i wierni fani - rekordziści byli na każdym koncercie! Zawsze na nich czekaliśmy i wypatrywaliśmy a Oni nigdy nas nie zawiedli. Otrzymali wczoraj specjalnie przygotowany „złoty bilet” na koncerty nadchodzącej odsłony projektu „Pieśni współczesne - TOM II”, którą zaczęliśmy już dla Was tworzyć!
Dzieki za ten wspaniały czas.
Do zobaczenia wkrótce!
