The tenth instalment of the festival brings sextets by Penderecki (90th borth anniversary this year!) and Mykietyn, works for flute, viola and harp, as well as piano works for four hands, song evening (featuring Katarzyna Oleś-Blacha), and in the finale, the Silesian Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Antonin Rey will recall works penned by the 20th-century Polish composers (Laks, Wajnberg, Kilar, Tansman).
