"Memories of Mieczysław Fogg" is a unique author's meeting, during which we will hear firsthand, previously unknown stories about the life and creative career of one of the most famous Polish singers.
During the event, private photos of the artist will be shown, accompanied by stories passed down from generation to generation in the family. What was Mieczysław Fogg like in his personal life and on stage? How did his career unfold? Do all the legends told about him correspond to reality? We will hear the answers to these and many other questions from the most reliable source – without speculation or assumptions.
Stories will be interspersed with pieces from Mieczysław Fogg's repertoire, which the audience will be invited to sing along to.
"Foggorama", "Leć, piosenko", "Poletko Pana Fogga", "Z piosenką przez świat" and "Fogg and Rock" are just a few of Mieczysław Fogg's many stage programs. Over the six decades of his creative activity, the artist held as many as sixteen thousand concerts in Poland and more than thirty other countries. Now it is time for him to return in our memories.
The meeting will be hosted by Michał Fogg – head of the "Fundacja Retro" foundation, patron and one of the organizers of the Mieczysław Fogg All-Poland Retro Song Festival. He also manages the music label "Fogg Record", which popularizes the culture of the interwar period. As a music journalist and DJ, Michał Fogg presents old Polish entertainment music at dance evenings, organizes concerts and recitals, introduces the younger generation to music history, and gives the older generation the opportunity to return to their memories. In his personal life, he is the great-grandson of Mieczysław Fogg.
A meeting about Fogg could not take place without music! During the event, Maciej Klociński will perform, who will sing pieces from Mieczysław Fogg's repertoire and accompany himself on the piano.
