The Baltic Neopolis Festival has been organized by the Baltic Neopolis Orchestra Association in Szczecin since 2015. It aims at introducing and popularising chamber music in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, particularly to audiences who have no access to classical music on a daily basis. This summer's Festival concerts take place in public spaces – at squares, in parks etc., and bring together outstanding artists from around the world.
The Baltic Neopolis Festival guests included internationaly-renowned musicians: violinist Vaska Vassileva, concertmaster of the Covent Garden Opera House in London; soprano Yevgenia Vasilchuk from the Bolshoi Theatre; musicians from the flamenco-electronic group Chambao from Spain; violinist Sandor Javorkaia from Hungary; guitarist Miriam Rodriguez Brüllová from Slovakia; cellist Petr Nouzovsky from the Czech Republic; pianist Pamela Tan Nicholson from Singapore; bandoneonist Marcel Nisinman from Argentina; pianist Ingrid Fujiko von Georgii-Hemming from Sweden; marimbist Vivi Vassileva from Germany; harpists Anna Steinkogler from Austria and Rosa Díaz Cotán from Spain; and outstanding Polish saxophonist Alina Mleczko.
