In 2025, the Michał Spisak International Festival will commemorate important dates and places associated with Michał Spisak: the 60th anniversary of his death and the 110th anniversary of his birth as a composer.
The festival is an important event for the region and the musical life, highlighting the role of youth, the exchange of experiences, and the roles of soloists, orchestral musicians, and educators in the development and promotion of musical life both in the country and abroad.
The life and work of the composer serve as the foundation for each edition of the festival. The musical background features a wide repertoire of Polish and international composers from many different periods, ranging from the 17th century to the present. The festival is also a journey through various musical styles: from classical music to improvisations blending classical and jazz elements, as well as the fusion of classical music with folk music. A broad spectrum of performances is presented—from “solo” to “tutti”—ranging from small ensembles to chamber groups and symphonic formations.
