Krakow | 46th Music in Old Cracow Festival

The 46th "Music in Old Cracow" Festival will run from 15 to 31 August 2021. Outstanding artists will perform their own programmes, which guarantees the most perfect interpretation. The festival also includes works by Krakow composers and artists of the young generation.

The concerts will take place in the most beautiful places in the city: Corpus Christi Church, Krzysztofory Palace, Music Academy, Tempel Synagogue and others. Each edition of the Festival features renowned foreign and Polish artists, mainly from Krakow: Capella Cracoviensis, Royal Rorantists, Collegium Zieleński. This year we will hear, among others, works by Stanisław Moniuszko, Fryderyk Chopin, Franciszek Maklakiewicz and Mieczysław Karłowicz in the interpretation of mezzo-soprano Monika Korybalska and guitarist Dmytro Holovenko (17 August), music by Franciszek Lessel, Stefan Kisielewski and Władysław Żeleński performed by Veramo String Quartet (18 August), as well as works by Józef Elsner, Roman Maciejewski, Ignacy Friedman and Witold Lutosławski performed by Książek Piano Duo (19 August).
