Cherries in the City. A concert for children
Czereśnie:
- Andrzej Zagajewski - vocal, banjo
- Wojciech Wędzicha - clatinet, saxophone
- Jakub Lewicki -tube, saxhorn
- Sebastian Kaszyca - percussion instruments
This time, we’re taking you to a city that’s loud and fast-paced—fascinating, yet a little intimidating. As always, we dance (we’ve recorded plenty of brass instruments and won’t hesitate to unleash them on stage!) and channel our energy into exploring themes that resonate with both young and older audiences. We follow a courier, visit a construction site, and set off on holiday. We reflect on the world around us and the changes that shape our daily lives. And we sing about the kind of city we all long for—a place where we can feel safe. Come with us—on your bike!—and let’s spend some time together. This is how the musicians of Czereśnie invite you to their July concert.
Czereśnie w mieście (Cherries in the City) is their latest release—the fifth album of children’s songs by Andrzej Zagajewski, winner of the Polityka Passport in the “Popular Music” category, frontman of the folk-punk band Hańba!, music educator, and producer. The album is infused with world music influences, brought vividly to life through live instrumentation by Wojciech Wędzicha (clarinet, saxophone), Jakub Lewicki (tuba, saxhorn), and Sebastian Kaszyca (percussion), all of whom also perform with Hańba!.
Czereśnie is renowned for its energetic live shows, where the youngest audience members are not just welcome, but actively encouraged to participate. In keeping with the band’s philosophy, concerts are interactive experiences—musical gatherings rather than passive performances.
In Toruń, they’ll play songs like Chodź na rower (Come Ride a Bike), Kurier (Courier), and Budowa (Construction Site). Urban life is presented in a way that’s accessible and engaging for children—without resorting to overly simplified or cutesy language.
So hop on your bike and join the fun at the Baj Pomorski Amphitheatre!
