"....Lira will feature a chorus of ten singers, sixteen dancers and a professional symphony of nearly forty members. This will truly be a gala performance. This year we will showcase a number of younger, highly athletic dancers who will make Orchestra Hall come alive with fresh, updated choreography..... In addition, two freshly commissioned pieces honoring Tadeusz Kosciuszko will have their world premiers on our stage".

Lira is based in Chicago as artist-in-resident at Loyola University Chicago, which makes a significant, on-going contribution to the promotion of Polish culture in the United States by donating free office, rehearsal and storage space to the Lira company.
