Organized by the Special Forces Club in Kraków in cooperation with the Podgórze Cultural Centre – Fort Borek, the festival brings together performers from military academies, uniformed services, and cultural institutions nationwide. Participants perform soldiers’ songs, insurgent tunes, and patriotic music reflecting service, honor, and courage.
The jury highlighted performances combining high artistic standards with authentic emotional delivery. Gabriela Gruca’s award-winning performance stood out for its vocal quality and expressive interpretation, underscoring both her talent and dedication.
The festival aims not only to promote military songs but also to foster integration between military and civilian communities through shared musical heritage. It also provides a platform for exchanging experience and promoting musical culture within the Polish Armed Forces.
The Polish Naval Academy actively supports the cultural and artistic development of its cadets. This achievement demonstrates that AMW cadets pursue their artistic passions with the same commitment they apply to their military training.
Congratulations to Senior Seaman Cadet Gabriela Gruca on her award, and best wishes for continued success in both her artistic and military endeavors.
