PROGRAMME:

Between sleep and waking – fantasies, fairy tales and sometimes ephemeral music are released, with which the mysterious gnomes engage with mischievous delight. Fortunately, they are very musical, they can nicely listen to music and even dance. Together, we will play an evening concerto in the morning. Violin, piano, trombone and double bass will play serenade-like pieces by Beethoven, Mozart and Debussy, but there will also be room for some jazz.

PERFORMERS:

Joachim Łuczak violin
Piotr Wróbel trombone
Mariusz Dropek piano
Konrad Kubicki double-bass
Lucy Chang and Charlene Zhao gnomes
Viola Łabanow host

The revolutionary concept of La Folle Journée consists in a dizzying number of short concerts in the span of a few days with an appealing repertoire and affordable ticket prices. All of that attracts large crowds of new listeners to the concert halls in a spectacular fashion. Every year, thousands of people gather at the Polish Opera, Teatr Wielki on the last weekend of September to listen to concerts of their choice from dozens of available events.The festival has gained the reputation of the biggest classical music feast in Poland. Many regular and occasional concertgoers spend the whole year waiting for it.

It is the only festival in the country that combines symphonic and chamber concerts performed by the brightest stars of classical music with a broad educational repertoire that gathers together the most gifted young musicians from across Poland. Every year, around 1000 artists perform during the festival and are listened to by nearly 40 000 audience members.

The theme of this year's 13th edition of the festival is Ode to the Night.
