About the project

“Sent Forth in the Peace of Christ – a series of performances in churches” is a music and cultural project we delivered in 2023 as a continuation of earlier pastoral activities. Its aim was to build community around the value of peace, strengthen local identity, and create space for reflection through music.

We chose a format that combines a concert with spoken narration and a values-based message. As a result, the events had not only an artistic dimension, but also a social and educational one, engaging audiences of different ages.

Process

We carried out preparations from July to September 2023. During this time, we refined the promotion strategy, visual identity, cooperation with media patrons and partners, and the full production setup: technical services, photo and video documentation, and event coordination.

We delivered two concerts: on 3 September 2023 in front of the Basilica of St. Anthony in Rybnik, and on 24 September 2023 at the Parish of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Rybnik-Niedobczyce. Each event followed the prepared schedule and was supported by active local communication, also with the involvement of the parishes.

After the event phase, we conducted an evaluation and project wrap-up, analyzing attendance indicators and the effectiveness of promotional activities. Materials from the production and project communications were also used for further post-promotion.

Impact

What changed thanks to the project

The project achieved its intended results and in several areas exceeded the plan. We organized 2 cultural events (2/2), and in-person attendance reached 500 people against a target of 300. The delivery involved 9 Polish artists and production staff (target: 8), 1 debuting artist, and 4 members of the organizing team beyond the artists.

On the digital reach side, we also recorded results above assumptions: 1,035 plays against a target of 1,000, and 1,226 unique users against a target of 500. These figures confirm that the promotional and communication activities effectively supported the project’s reception.

The most important qualitative outcome was combining the concert format with a message grounded in community values and local identity. Thanks to this, the project did not end with the events themselves, but genuinely strengthened social bonds and a sense of shared responsibility for local culture.
