What can happen in 6 weeks? A lot, and certainly a lot of music! A six-week festival started by Capella Cracoviensis two years ago, this year undergoes some modifications. There are less weeks in thr programme, however one thing stays the same: at this particular moment when summer turns into fall, Capella Cracoviensis presents a cycle of concerts held under the banner of K6T featuring the milestones of the Western classical music and great names such as Jorge Jimenez, Marcin Masecki, ensembles Oltremontano and Arte dei Suonatori. In 2023, the cycle concentrates on the mass as music genre, presenting its evolution throughout the ages: from Lassus to Mozart. The festival starts on 24 August and concludes on 26 September with the profane including Haydn’s symphonies nos. 78 and 79 and Mozart's Violin Concerto in G major No. 3 with a solo part by still very young but already definitely genious French violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte.
