In its 11th edition, the Krzyżowa-Music Festival will once again present top-level chamber music concerts in Lower Silesia, creating a musical programmatic bridge from West to East – connecting cities such as Vienna, Berlin, Wrocław, Kraków, and Warsaw. From August 26 to September 7, 2025, a total of eleven concerts and two symposia will take place. Internationally acclaimed musicians will focus particularly on the works of Polish composers and pay tribute to two greats: Ravel from Paris and Shostakovich from Moscow. For the first time, tickets will be available for purchase in advance – starting June 20, 2025.
Following the anniversary season in 2024, Krzyżowa-Music embarks on a new decade from August 26 to September 7, 2025, under the continued artistic direction of violinist Viviane Hagner and with the participation of outstanding musicians. Renowned international artists will collaborate with young, talented musicians to prepare 40 pieces from classical and contemporary repertoires. Among the Polish artists featured will be Gustaw Bafeltowski (cello), Adam Golka (piano), Zofia Neugebauer (flute), and Piotr Szumieł (viola) as Senior.
The “Krzyzowa” Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe and the Club of Catholic Intelligentsia, invite young people from Poland, Ukraine, and Germany, aged 15-17, who want to experience an unforgettable week full of inspiring meetings, creative workshops and intercultural experiences to Krzyzowa near Wroclaw from July 27 to August 03, 2025 for a Polish-German-Ukrainian exchange “Art of Relationships”.
The “Art of Relationships” exchange is part of the “LIKHTAR / Ліхтар” networking project.
During the three-cultural exchange, young people will travel deep into the world of history, art and communication, in a place with a unique past. The former estate of the von Moltke family, Nazi oppositionists, today the headquarters of the “Krzyzowa” Foundation for European Understanding, will become a space for building bridges between cultures. During the week we will immerse ourselves in the world of multilingualism, discover the history of the place through creative workshops, and learn what nonviolent communication is in a drama workshop.
