This year's edition of the festival will fill three September dates with the beauty of music: September 9, 10, and 17. We want these meetings to show a new perspective on the role of music in today's world. Therefore, we will look at the „Horyzont” (tr. the Horizon), which will be present with us as the guiding slogan. It will be a story about young artists who want to go beyond their own and the horizons outlined by the world. It is also a chance to see and even hear the phenomena that appear on the horizon ... in the concerts entitled „W zenicie" (tr. At the Zenith) and „W pełni” (tr. To the Full).
The festival is dedicated to every recipient, regardless of age and place of residence. We are inviting whole families, young and old, residents and tourists of the regionto participate and enjoy the beauty of music. We hope for a meeting full of inspiration, which will result in the continuation of the festival and the creation of new musical initiatives. Admission to all events is free.
