On November 11 – December 12, 2018, the 7th International "Discovering Paderewski" Festival will be held in Kiev and Lviv.
The festival is a unique project carried out by the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Polish-Ukrainian Foundation in Lviv continuously since 2012. The event aims to promote outstanding Polish artists abroad and bridge artistic cooperation between Poland and Ukraine by referring to the figure of Paderewski – an excellent artist, politician and patriot who links the two countries through his birthplace, Kuryłówka.

On November 16, the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the National Philharmonic in Lviv conducted by Hobart Earle and pianist Marianna Humetska will present works by Karol Szymanowski, Igor Stravinsky and Borys Latoszyński.
