Eufonie as a festival refers to the traditions of Central and Eastern Europe but goes beyond strict geographical definitions to present the musical heritage of a region that stretches from the Balkans to the Baltic countries, and even Scandinavia. This area is a fascinating melting pot of clashing influences from the East and the West, bursting with cultural energy.

The festival features 14 events presenting works by outstanding composers such as: Bela Bartok, Bedřich Smetana, Nina Šenk, Franz Liszt, Zoltán Kodály, György Ligeti, Roby Lakatos, Witold Lutosławski, Andrzej Panufnik, and Krzysztof Penderecki. As in previous editions, it will be presented in classical, experimental, jazz, and traditional forms.

Renowned orchestras, outstanding soloists and extraordinary conductors will perform at the festival: BBC Symphony Orchestra, Vadim Gluzman, Leonora Armellini, Tomasz Konieczny, Thomas Sanderling, Zsolt Nagy, Olari Elts, Marek Moś, Tomáš Netopil, Anna Sułkowska-Migoń (winner of the La Maestra 2022 competition), RTV Symphony Orchestra Slovenia, Sinfonia Varsovia, Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava, Slovak Sinfonietta Žilina, AUKSO, Hover State Chamber Choir and many others.

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik

The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
