    FAQ

    We meet Fridays at 6:30 p.m. at St. Gualbert's/Kolbe School Gym. We currently have 63 members, age 4 and up.

    Member fees are $10 individual and $20 family per month and members need not perform if they prefer not to. We include singing and have our own small folk kapela. We also have crafts/culture sessions that involve history, language, and Polish traditions.

    Members do not have to be of Polish descent to be a part of the fun! Costumes are provided by the group.

    Harmony Polish Folk Ensemble is proud sponsor of Dyngus Day Buffalo and Am Pol Eagle, and member of the PFDAA!

    Harmony Polish Folk Ensemble's mission is to promote & sustain Polish heritage within the family, through study and performance of the traditional folk dances of Poland and cultural enrichment sessions.

    How to Book Us

    Harmony Polish Folk Ensemble performs for a wide range of public and private events including one hour concerts and other stage appearances, festivals and fairs, parties and weddings. The Ensemble creates special programs to serve the educational needs of schools, senior programming, and other target audiences. Our artistic staff is happy to work with presenters and clients in order to accommodate specific needs and requests.

    We are a non-profit organization and our donations and dues go right back into costuming, culture, and our costs of preparing for performances. Performance fees depend upon length of program, number of performers, and distance to be traveled. We would be honored to have a role in your important upcoming event! You are invited to call for more information: (716) 875-2030 or email.


    Founding Families

    History

    November, 2006 The seven Founders formed Harmony Polish Folk Ensemble and searched for a central place to meet for friendship, fellowship, dancing, and cultural activities.

    January, 2007 Harmony Polish Folk Ensemble was finally named, and found a home - St. Gualbert's/Kolbe School in Cheektowaga - and welcomed new members, young and old. The Founders danced (and sang) their first performance as Harmony Polish Folk Ensemble!

    February, 2007 Harmony quickly grew to over 60 members!
