A double gala featuring stars of Poland’s music scene, a children’s twist, a jam session, meetings and plenty of surprises: Kraków hosts the first ever Wodecki Twist Festival, dedicated to the artist who passed away last year.

The two-day Wodecki Twist Festival (8-9 June), organised by the Zbigniew Wodecki Foundation and the City of Kraków, brings together some of Poland’s finest voices and best artists from all music genres. “Zbigniew Wodecki lived in Kraków his entire life, so our festival will be a tribute to this extraordinary musician and singer,” says Jacek Majchrowski, Mayor of the City of Kraków.

Events kick off on 8 June with the gala Tribute to Zbigniew Wodecki, performed twice. The stage of the ICE Kraków Congress Centre welcomes many stars of Poland’s music scene e.g. Kayah, Leszek Możdżer and others. The programme includes Wodecki’s greatest hits.

Once upon a time the entire Poland hummed Wodecki’s hit about Bach. We will be reminded that the artist took his first musical steps on philharmonic stages by the concert Violin on Saturday 9 June. Kraków Opera welcomes Polish virtuosos Agata Szymczewska, Mariusz Patyra, Adam Bałdych and the MozART Group, while Forum Przestrzenie hosts a cycle of concerts overseen by Mitch & Mitch. The festival closes with a jam session at Forum Przestrzenie featuring festival guests and some of Kraków’s finest musicians – we’ll be partying until the early hours!
