Accantus Live 8

Accantus Live 8 is a concert featuring songs from musicals, including “Hamilton”, “EPIC”, “Hazbin Hotel”, “The Lion King” and “Hadestown”. The soloists will perform pieces that earned fans' appreciation at previous editions, as well as new arrangements. The programme includes well-known musical hits and less obvious compositions that will be heard live for the first time in the band's performance. The concert takes place on 5 December 2026 at 6:00 p.m. at the Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin.

The Accantus studio is known both for covers of film and fairy-tale music and for English translations of foreign musicals created by Dorota Kozielska. On tour, the soloists are accompanied by an eight-member band led by Kasia Kessling. Light and sound effects have also been prepared. Between songs, director Bartek Kozielski introduces the audience to the mood of each piece and shares the stories behind them.
