2023 St Michael the Archangel Church in Binarowa, 30.07.2023 LIVE

The Kromer Festival Biecz Culture of the First Republic of Poland will be held under the motto Covenant, which symbolically refers to what unites – in contrast to the times in which divisions are openly drawn. The starting point for these reflections will be the historic Polish-Lithuanian alliance, sealed by the Act of the Union of Lublin, which has lasted for more than two centuries. This was a period not only of the development of the Republic, but also of extraordinary changes in music, to which the KFB pays tribute every year on the last weekend of July. In this way, the Festival will show the evolution of music and the many bridges that show the Polish and European heritage as a continuum, testifying to the vitality and respect for the past, but telling it in a language that is contemporary and rich in expression.

Ingrida Gápová – soprano

Trio Overtone
Klaudia Matlak – violin
Julia Karpeta – viola da gamba
Marta Niedźwiecka – positive

At the end of the 17th century, the Polish royal court moved to Warsaw. This event had a profound influence on the revival of artistic life – together with Sigismund III and Władysław IV, eminent Polish composers as well as Italians found their place in the developing new capital – the taste of Polish rulers was still drawn towards the music of the Apennine Peninsula. No wonder – it was there that sacred music abounded in fervour and virtuosity. And it is these two aspects, the combination of which evokes the strongest stirrings of the soul, that Afternoon Prayer will evoke.
