The last weekend of March in Brodnica will definitely be a music weekend. The first edition of the brand new Brodnica ClassiX festival will take place on March 28-31, 2019. Four festival days will be filled with diverse repertoire presented by the renown classical and jazz music artists.
Brodnica ClassiX is a pioneering artistic event that will significantly enrich the cultural offer of the city. An innovative festival in which the world of classical music combines with jazz and improvisation is the first and only such venture in the region.

The programme of this year's festival includes chamber and symphonic works, combined with an audiovisual and electronic performance with the participation of the choir, cello and violin, an evening with tango of Polish and Argentinian composers of the interwar period, as well as premieres of new classical works with elements of jazz and improvisation. We will listen to, among others, the Mass by Józef Świder and Stanisław Moniuszko's Songs, selected and arranged by Mat Kwiatkowski. The finale of the festival will take place at the Brodnica Community Center. The Brodnica Symphony Orchestra will premiere the Symphony of Shadows by Mat Kwiatkowski.
