History and culture will come together at “A Concert Celebrating Polish Culture,” 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16, at St. Hugo of the Hills in Bloomfield Hills.

The concert will feature Leszek Bartkiewicz, pianist; Curtis Posuniak, pianist; the Hamtramck Historical Chamber Ensemble and the Wawel Polish Folk Ensemble.

The event will benefit the Hamtramck Historical Commission and its efforts to build a historical museum in Hamtramck.

Hamtramck, founded in 1798, is one of the oldest communities in southeast Michigan and has a rich history and multicultural heritage. For the past decade, the Hamtramck Historical Commission has been striving to create a historical museum to showcase the many items it has collected and serve as a community resource.

A group of caring residents of the Bloomfield Hills area came together to arrange this special event to help make that plan a reality.

Along with the program of Polish music, arranged by Posuniak, the event will include a silent auction and wine and dessert afterglow.

Tickets are $50 general admission; $100 for patrons; $150 for benefactors: and $15 for students.
Checks should be made payable to the Friends of Historical Hamtramck, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
Checks and credit card information can be sent to Rita Margherio, 4633 Twin Fawn Lane, Orchard Lake, MI 48324. For additional information, call (248) 642-6923.

St. Hugo is at 2215 Opdyke in Bloomfield Hills.
