An evening full of emotions is ahead of us. It is today that the jury will select the winners of the 2nd edition of the Karol Szymanowski International Music Competition!
The human soul expresses itself most directly through singing. While singing Szymanowski, one may touch upon the mysticism of the East, get lost in the mist of Młoda Polska poetry, stand against the spiritual titans of Modernism, wander among the rhymes of Tuwim’s Słopiewnie, as well as lose oneself in King Roger’s dilemmas and Roxanne’s sensual charm.
Karol Szymanowski’s sister, Stanisława, was a singer herself. It is singing that his music breathes with. We seek singers who will find a common breath with Karol Szymanowski.
Finals are held at the Concert Hall of NOSPR.
We already invite you to the laureates' concert on the 23rd September. 1st prize winners of all the Competition categories will perform at NOSPR.
