The concert (and the evening) was/were fun. I enjoyed myself and loved the Polacca. Do keep me informed of progress, and the 15^th is definitely in the diary.

 

There was coverage on Polish Radio and Agnieszka Gradzewicz of the Polish business magazine Metropolia wrote to thank me for the enjoyable event:
