Each year the school organizes a gala concert at
which the orchestra and the school soloists take part. There
is a great deal of public interest and support. The gala
concert ususally takes place in the school concert hall or
in one of the main concert halls of the town. Our pupils
take part in concert organized by the Polish Baltic
