Kwidzyn September Concerts dedicated to contemporary music will be held live and online on 26, 28 and 30 September 2020 as part of the Kwidzyn International Music Festival.
The initiator of the festival is Iwona Glinka, a flautist from Kwidzyn, who collaborates with various European music academies. One of the aspects of her activity is the promotion of classical music among the residents of Kwidzyn city and county. The main idea of the Kwidzyn International Music Festival is the presentation of the most interesting interpretations of music from different periods, as well as portaying artistic phenomena inspired by music. The festival has been awarded the EFFE Label 2019-2020 quality stamp by the European Festivals Association.
Three September concerts will premiere 25 works by composers from 9 countries. The festival will be inaugurated by a concert of the finalists of the "Kwidzyn Classical Award 2020" Composers' Competition.
