The Institute of Music and Dance, in cooperation with the National Philharmonic in Warsaw, announces the artistic programme "Stage for Polish Music".

"Stage for Polish Music" is a new programme of the Institute of Music and Dance directed to Polish performers, realized in cooperation with the National Philharmonic and artistic institutions in the country. The selected concert programmes composed of Polish works will be presented in the Chamber Hall of the National Philharmonic and repeated in other cities in Poland.

The programme aims to inspire musicians to include Polish music in concert repertoires, to promote performances of Polish music and to interest the public in Polish music, especially lesser known works. The expected result of the programme is the presentation and popularization of Polish compositional output, especially less frequently present in contemporary concert practice, the increase in the number of performances of Polish music and the promotion of Polish artists. As part of the programme, artists – soloists and chamber ensembles – can apply for co-financing in the amount of up to PLN 30,000. The budget of the programme is 240,000 PLN.

The deadline for submissions is 30th April 2019.
