During the 46^th Karol Szymanowski Music Festival in Zakopane on July 21-30, 2023, the theme of musical events will be a current and burning topic - emigration, the past and the present one. During the inaugural concert, the New Music Orchestra, conducted by Anna Sułkowska-Migoń, will premiere Kolomyjki by the Ukrainian composer Bogdan Krywopust.

The programme includes works by Polish artists of the 20^th century who saved their lives thanks to emigration (Aleksandr Tansman, Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern, Roman Palester, Mieczysław Wajnberg, Karol Rathaus); those composers who, while operating for the greater part of their lives abroad, retained their national identity (Henryk Wieniawski, Juliusz Zarębski, Antoni Szałowski, Andrzej Panufnik, Andrzej Nikodemowicz).

On the 28^th of July, we will hear for the first time Bartosz Witkowski's Piano Quintet ‘Landscape from Harenda’: a work created as part of the ‘Composers' Commissions’ programme implemented by the National Institute of Music and Dance, premiered by Tymoteusz Bies and the Silesian Quartet.
