The LIPCOWE [July Victims] concert

What a beautiful and moving July evening! On Saturday, 8 July 2023, on the Netta riverside commons, we took part in the LIPCOWE [July Victims] concert devoted to the families of the Victims of the Augustów Roundup.

The artists featured at the event – Ewelina Flinta, RENI JUSIS, Tulia, Marika and Jagoda Kret – performed songs inspired by the authentic stories of the Victims of the Augustów Roundup of July 1945. The artistic director was Robert Cichy, while the event director and author of the lyrics was Aleksandra Górecka. The band Żurkowski performed on the same stage, playing songs from the album LIPCOWI.

The audience listened to 10 stories told through music, visual effects and narrative elements delivered by the host, Paweł Swiernalis. These words, images and music aimed to help us understand the immense feeling of loss that the families of the July Victims experience to this day.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in organizing the concert and, most of all, the families of the Victims of the Augustów Roundup, who trusted us enough to share their personal family history. We find your stories inspiring and we feel very proud to be so close to all of you.

This was a wonderful and truly magical time. Have a look at the photographs from the event to relive these beautiful moments!
