The ensemble „Sześć złotych” was founded by the students of Lviv National Academy of Music, named by Mykola Lysenko, January, 2007.

The name of the ensemble ‘Sześć złotych’  appeared a little unexpectedly and you will see why.„Sześć złotych”  means ‘Six coins of gold’ ‘Six’ because there are six of them. ‘Golden coins’ because we like ourselves, and there was some band in style of Lviv ‘The Golden’ in ancient times in one of Old Lviv suburbs.  

On the 12th of January near Przemyśl  (Poland) a concert ‘Carols in Lviv Style’ made its debut. It was very successful.

The next program of the newborn ensemble included Lviv street songs and the first CD ‘It’s Lviv’ ("To Lwów") was recorded. 

"Sześć złotych” continued its concert activity actively. They were broadening their repertoire. It consists of different directions of style: sacral and classical music, retro-hits, instrumental music, jazz standarts, opera arias, Polish patriotic songs. They recorded their second CD ‘Farewell, girl’ ("Bywaj dziewcze zdrowe").

They also pay attention to famous Christmas carols which were included to the third CD  ‘Carols in Lviv style’ ("Kolędowanie po Lwowsku").
