Warszawska Orkiestra Sentymentalna is a contemporary Polish ensemble that delves into the rich tradition of pre-war Polish music, reimagining and reviving the forgotten sounds of interwar Poland with a modern sensibility. Their name, which translates to the “Warsaw Sentimental Orchestra,” encapsulates their affinity for nostalgic emotion and their ties to the Polish capital, a city steeped in historical significance and cultural memory.

Their repertoire is a heartfelt homage to the 1920s and 1930s, a period when the music scene in Warsaw and across Poland was vibrant and diverse. Warszawska Orkiestra Sentymentalna interprets foxtrots, tangos, and waltzes of the era, infusing them with contemporary energy while maintaining the sentimental and melancholic spirit inherent to the originals. Their work brings a forgotten era back to life, offering listeners a window into the past through music that feels both timeless and fresh. With releases like "Dziewczyna z Ipanemy," "Piosenka o sąsiedzie," and "Tak samo nudzę się jak ty," the orchestra showcases its talent for capturing the essence of the past while speaking to modern audiences, thus keeping the continuum of Polish musical heritage alive and thriving.
