Rumia | 32nd Stanisław Ormiński International Festival of Religious Music

The 32nd Stanisław Ormiński International Festival of Religious Music will take place on 22-24 October 2020 at the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians in Rumia, presenting organ and choral music.

The festival was inspired by the work of a composer, humanist and youth educator, Salesian Father Stanisław Ormińskim, who worked in Rumia for over 26 years. It is a platform for the exchange of experiences between performers of choral music, as well as for promotion of music by Polish composers, especially among foreign performers. The Festival features three competitions: Organ Music Competition – for young organists up to 27 years of age, Choir Ensemble Competition – in three categories, and Competition for the best performance of a religious song in Kashubian. 

As part of the this year's edition, the Symphony Orchestra of the Polish Baltic Philharmonic under the direction of Mirosław Jacek Błaszczyk, flautist Łukasz Długosz and organist Roman Perucki, artistic director of the project, will present Piotr Moss' According to Memling – a concert for flute, organ and orchestra commissioned by the Polish Baltic Philharmonic. The work was inspired by one of the most famous works of art in Pomerania, i.e. The Last Judgment by Hans Memling.
