 |
| The 2nd Krakow Accordion Festival takes place from September 25th to 29th. The event presents different musical styles, including tango nuevo, folk, world music, jazz, and classical. Kraków and Nowy Sacz host performers including the Polish-Slovak Duo Accosphere (Grzegorz Palus and Alena Budzinakova), Mysterious Duo (Pawel Janas and Maciej Frackiewicz), as well as songs for voice and accordion presented by the Duet Dialogi from Ukraine, and the ensemble Quasi Una Fantasia. The festival includes a competition. The jury members are Iwona Siwek-Front, Bozena Bob-Dyga, Marta Zurek, Adam Kaluski, Peter Sawinski, and Marek Luzar. Events take place in the following venues: Alchemia, Malopolska Garden of Arts, Regional Museum in Nowy Sacz, Wladyslaw Zelenski Music Secondary School, and the Wrzos Cinema and Theatre. The finale concert features The Kuraybers (an ensemble founded at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo by students from various countries, including the Polish accordionist Grzegorz Miszczyszyn), and the Bester Quartet, representing Kraków. The audience will also hear world premieres of chamber pieces for accordion, composed especially for the festival by students and graduates of the Academy of Music in Kraków. |
