As part of last year's - sixth - edition, invited guests included the Silesian Quartet, Geoffrey Govier, Volodia Mykytka, Ewa Tracz, Robert Kowalski, Tomasz Daroch and Magdalena Zawartko with ensemble.
The guiding principle accompanying the programme of the 7th edition is contained in the subtitle Following the Mendelssohn Trail.
"We want to present the spectrum of the composer's oeuvre as fully as possible, but also outline the musical background of his era. We are offering audiences a diverse artistic programme that is a kind of reflection of current trends in the music market in Europe. We will look at Mendelssohn's oeuvre through the prism of historical performance of the 19th century, Baroque and jazz inspirations, or by savouring the interpretations of outstanding musicians playing contemporary instruments,' explains Artistic Director Krzysztof Karp. - explains the artistic director, Krzysztof Karpeta.
All festival events will help to bring closer the works of the great German composer, whose residence in this area is still little known. This year, we will hear, among others, the Szymanowski Quartet, Maria Gabryś-Heike, Marcin Koziel, Wojciech Myrczek and the Książek PianoDuo. There will also be accompanying events dedicated to young audiences: choral workshops with the excellent conductor Izabela Polakowska-Rybska or master classes with the Szymanowski Quartet. The festival will be the highlight of the celebrations of the Year of Felix Mendelssohn in Duszniki Zdrój.

We cordially invite you to Duszniki in September!
