WPA UAM Chamber Choir comes from Kalisz - one of the oldest towns in Poland, located on a very important and strategic point along the historic "Amber Trail", connecting Roman Empire with Baltic Sea coast. Situated in the picturesque valley of Prosna river, Kalisz is the second largest town in the region of Greater Poland. Here the past is harmoniously intertwining with the present, creating a unique atmosphere.
