The star of this year’s festival is Ewa Uryga, the accomplished vocalist and the Twoje Niebo (Your Heaven) music band from Przemyśl.

THE RELIGIOUS SONG FESTIVAL – the endeavour initiated by Father Jerzy Ostrowski – the Director of the Ministerial Department at the Diocese Curia in Kielce, Father Stanisław Kiśmierczyk – the priest who works in the Cathedral Parish in Kielce and Mr Stanisław Jurkowski – a musician, sound engineer and the manager of the “Fema” and “The Stanley’s Band” music ensembles. The last mentioned is also the host of the festival.
The idea to hold the was put forward when “The Stanley’s Band” was created in the Academic Ministry Centre “Odnowa”, the group which works in the Cathedral Basilica and is supervised by Father Stanisław.
The band was responsible for song animation during the liturgy and other ministerial meetings. The band creation was the result of Father Stanislaw’s prior analysis which indicated the demand for this form of cultural activity among young people and their search for a new form of the Gospel presentation. Music appeared to be the best form of communication with young people.
