About the Festival

About the Festival

The Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy International Chamber Music Festival has already been engraved on the tradition of the Kłodzko region; its last edition, the 5th, took place in 2015. The Bridges of Culture Association of Artistic Initiatives, along with the city government, have decided to revive the promotion of Mendelssohn’s music in Duszniki-Zdrój. The festival program has been constructed in such a way as to concentrate on the places in which the composer stayed, and, at the same time, to present his compositions in the context of a broader spectrum. The key idea of the 6th edition of the festival is described by the subtitle “Along Mendelssohn’s trail”.
