the band's innovative musical style incorporates
rock and classical music. Internationally acclaimed
Marek Piekarczyk, a leading vocal of TSA band, will
appear as a guest soloist. The Paderewski Symphony
Orchestra will be conducted by Christophe de Voise,
graduate of Paris Conservatoire and Yale University,
who often appears with the most reputable classical
orchestras in the world. The Orchestra is accompanied
by DePaul University Children Choir. Eminent Polish
actress Adrianna Biedrzynska will introduce this
family-oriented music program. In over two-hour
concert, full of jaw-dropping lighting effects,
Night Rider will play compositions by Chopin, Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.
