The 2nd Michał Spisak International Festival inaugurated a series of open-air concerts held every Saturday in August in Zielona Park. In the beautiful circumstances of nature, we had the opportunity to listen to small chamber forms with a light repertoire, combining classical music with entertainment. After the August prelude in the bosom of nature, we invite you to the main stage of the Zagłębie Palace of Culture, where concerts dedicated to the patron and numerous accompanying events will be held!

A concert in which the Silesian Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra will be joined by last year’s winner of the 13th Michał Spisak International Music Competition, the Portuguese-born oboist Joana Soares. The Silesian Philharmonic Orchestra will play under the leadership of Yaroslav Shemet, one of the most acclaimed conductors of the young generation. The concert will be hosted by Ewa Niewadomska. We are curious to hear how compositions by Polish composers will sound in the interpretation of the Ukrainian conductor, especially Wojciech Kilar, a Lviv native by birth.
