Szalone Dni Muzyki (La Folle Journée de Varsovie) returns in 2024 with a rich and varied selection of 56 concerts over a period of three days. This year’s festival theme is Origins. And a journey to the origins is a fascinating expedition! We will wander towards nature: to the murmur of gushing water and birdsong, but also to ancient ways of human communication – primordial rhythm or traditional calling and singing. We will look at traditional instruments and folk inspirations in both classical music and jazz. We will reach out to the great works of the classical canon, such as Bach’s Goldberg Variations (no. 51), Mozart’s operas (no. 9), the symphonies of Beethoven and Dvořák (nos. 23, 47), Bartók’s Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion (no. 27), Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue (nos. 32, 53) and Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story (nos. 1, 48, 55). These are “original” works for the cultural formation of modern audiences, and they are an inexhaustible mine of inspiration for subsequent generations, drawing on these sources to the fullest.
