#U PANA FRANZA
The Ruda Śląska Community Choir #u Pana Franza (#at Mr. Franz's) was established in the fall of 2025 in Ruda Śląska as a space for collective singing, development, and support for physical and mental well-being, as well as cultural heritage. The choir operates at the Local Tradition Center in the "Franciszek" Shaft, under the patronage of the City and the TuRuda Association. From the outset, it has been based on the principle of full accessibility – everyone is welcome to participate, regardless of age, musical experience, or skill. A key element of the choir's work is its use of Silesian songs and a repertoire rooted in the region's everyday life.
In December 2025, the choir performed as a special guest during Magda Anioł's Christmas concert in Ruda Śląska.
