The star of the third concert of the ICE Classic 2022 cycle will be Patricia Kopatchinskaja, a violinist known for her musical character, virtuosity and going beyond the framework of music in her activity. Together with Giovanni Antonini and his ensemble Il Giardino Armonico, they prepared a program WHAT’S NEXT VIVALDI?, in which Vivaldi’s ultra-virtuoso concerts (e.g., "Il grosso Mogul" RV 208, "La tempesta di mare" – for violin! – RV 253 and RV 157, 191, 550) are intertwined with short works written by modern composers, most of them commissioned by Patricia Kopatchinskaja. The excellent violinist performs at the ICE Kraków Congress Centre on 30 August.

ICE Classic is a unique series of classical music concerts, which induced Kraków to the group of important music stages in Europe. All concerts of the ICE Classic series are held in the Krzysztof Penderecki Hall at the ICE Kraków Congress Centre. Thanks to the concert space offered by the ICE Kraków Congress Centre, the capital of the Małopolska region has at its disposal a concert venue accommodating nearly 2,000 people, with excellent technical facilities and high acoustic performance.

The ICE Classic brand is consistently built upon the performances of the greatest stars of classical music. Krakow has already hosted some of the most outstanding opera soloists of our times: Aleksandra Kurzak, Edita Gruberová, Diana Damrau, Elīna Garanča and Philippe Jaroussky, exquisite instrumentalists: Anne-Sophie Mutter, Isabelle Faust, Ivo Pogorelić and Piotr Anderszewski, the outstanding conductor Kent Nagano with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, Sir Simon Rattle with the London Symphony Orchestra, Philippe Herreweghe with Orchestre des Champs-Elysées and the extraordinary composer Max Richter.
