The choir of the medical university of Lodz

Category : ChoirDocs


Anna Domańska – conductor | Dirigentin

The Choir of the Medical University of Lodz was founded in March 2005 on the initiative of the Rector’s authorities.

The conductor of the choir from the beginning of its existence is a respected and well-known conductor, professor of art Anna Domańska, head of the Department of Choral Conducting at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice “Grażyna and Kiejstut Bacewicz” in Lodz.

The choir’s president is Katarzyna StarostaJustyna Przytulska, assistant conductor, and Jakub Czech, is the assistant accompanist.

The choir’s repertoire is varied – from Polish folk, gospel and sacred music to, finally, popular music.

The members of the team are students of the Medical University and its graduates – already working professionally as doctors, pharmacists or paramedics.

The Choir of the Medical University of Lodz adds splendor to all celebrations related to the University – ceremonies of awarding diplomas to Graduates, scientific conferences, as well as ceremonies of awarding Doctorates Honoris Causa of the Medical University of Lodz.
In addition, the Choir of the Medical University of Lodz conducts extensive concert activity both in Lodz and throughout Poland.

The people who make up the band are – thanks to such frequent meetings – not only choirmates, but a group of really good friends. The bond between them is strengthened thanks to workshop and integration trips as well as trips to competitions and festivals in Poland and abroad.

Thanks to intensive work, the choir has already won many awards and distinctions.

Alexander Fischer

Alexander Fischer is born in Lindlar / Nordrhein Westfalen in 1967. Since 2008 he is married with Heike Fischer and they got a daughter in 2011.

After teeth his second big passion is the guitar and rock music. He is one of five members of the rock band Zenobia which was founded in 1993 and has published two CDs.

He writes to Wolfgang: “Apart from dental medicine my heart belongs to music! I play the guitar for decades now and compose since I am 10 and have a wonderful band playing old fashioned music in the style of Genesis, Yes, King Crimson and Pink Floyd – without a lot of success! 🙂 see www.zenobia-music.de (founded 1993, 2 CDs).

I collect guitars (last estimates: 22) and an old sports car from Stuttgart….
Let´s make friends here and have a coffee together!”

Jadźka Kłapa

Tags :

Jadźka Kłapa is a polish MD, jazz singer and saxophone player. She composes her own songs and accompanies herself on the Wurlitzer piano.

A tongue-in-cheek song that opens the album “Point Styku”. “Get Up” was created as a reaction to the fatigue of medical work. Responsibility, patterns, duties, who doesn’t want to be freed from their yoke every now and then? No wonder the stethoscope is a symbol of the song – it was created during one of my first hospital internships. I was a newly minted doctor who had just graduated from college. At the beginning of this journey, I was not convinced that I was in the right place and at the right time. I felt lost, wandering in the fog and struggling to survive. One day when my alarm went off early in the morning, I didn’t get up. Instead, I slept sweetly, dozed, dreamed, was silent and… wrote a song about it. In the morning no one noticed my absence, so you could say I got away scot-free. In addition to my vocals and saxophone, the recording features Paweł Zarecki on Steinway piano, Hammond, Moog, Maciek Szczyciński on double bass, Paweł Dobrowolski on drums and guest Mateusz Smoczyński on violin.

Justinus Kerner

Justinus Andreas Christian Kerner (18 September 1786, in LudwigsburgBaden-WürttembergGermany – 21 February 1862, in Weinsberg, Baden-Württemberg) was a German poet, practicing physician, and medical writer. He gave the first detailed description of botulism.

In Bilderbuch aus meiner Knabenzeit, Kerner recalls George Rapp‘s visits to his father, the Oberamtmann at Maulbronn. Kerner’s father had helped shield Rapp from religious prosecution by the authorities in Germany, and Kerner well remembered Rapp and his long black beard.[1] George Rapp and his followers eventually left Germany in 1803, settled in the United States, and started the Harmony SocietyDie Seherin von Prevorst and its tale about Kerner’s relationship with Friederike Hauffe — the latter reputed to have visionary and healing powers, and who had produced a strange ‘inner’ language containing Hebrew-like elements — made quite an impression among the members of the Harmony Society in 1829, who saw it as confirmation of the approaching millennium and of their religious views.[2]

Robert Schumann set Kerner’s poems in his Opus 35, 12 Gedichte von Justinus Kerner, composed in 1840 and dedicated to “Dr. Friedrich Weber in London.” Schumann called the set a Liederreihe, or “row of songs.”

Reto Eberhard Rast

Reto Eberhard Rast (*1973)

Was raised in St. Moritz and lives with his family in Lucerne. Despite an inner urge to paint and several awards at a young age, he decided to study medicine, followed by additional studies in history and biology. He worked as a family doctor, teacher and lecturer. As a Red Cross delegate, he carried out missions in countries hit by natural disasters and epidemics. He also worked as an illustrator and art assistant. In 2021, he gave up his practice and has been working as a freelance artist ever since. For one semester he attended courses in figure drawing and engraving at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Reto Eberhard Rast intends his paintings as ‘poetic realism’, stylistically. His aim is to render the beauty of nature’s nuances and to express his appreciation of colour and form. Expressive chromatic harmonies are more important to him than naturalistic reproduction. He uses an impasto painting style, with patterns on textured surfaces, that are enhanced by the use of glazes.
