The ‘Polish Music Scene’, like the International Competition of Polish Music, aims to present and bring back to life Polish composers’ output in all its richness. Apart from recognized artists whose works are performed all over the world, there is a multitude of native composers whose works are presented much less frequently, occasionally or who simply do not exist in contemporary concert life.
