On 10 October, we concluded the 15th Michał Spisak International Music Competition in Dąbrowa Górnicza with a Laureates’ Concert. Out of 93 participants, five were selected as the best in the violin, viola and cello categories, receiving first prize in the competition (in two specialities, the prize was awarded ex aequo) along with a statuette of the competition’s patron, and thus they were able to perform again with the Zabrze Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by maestro Sławomir Chrzanowski on the main stage of the Zagłębie Palace of Culture.

The event, hosted by Małgorzata Jeruzal-Kupczak, was attended by representatives of the organisers, honorary patrons, national and local authorities, sponsors, partners, friends of the 5th Michał Spisak International Festival and a large audience.

The official announcement of the competition results was made by the secretary of the jury, Prof. Damian Walentek. The list of award-winning participants can be found here.
