An exceptional week of world-class organ music lies ahead. We invite you to participate in the Masterclasses, which combine intensive education for participants with a rich program of events open to the public.
From Monday to Friday, the concert hall of the SOKÓŁ Małopolska Culture Centre and the interiors of the Nowy Sącz churches of St. Casimir and the Holy Spirit will be filled with improvisation, tradition, and modern sound. The heart of this year's edition is the art of organ improvisation. Practical workshops and evening concerts will be led by an international group of outstanding virtuosos and educators: Jean-Baptiste Dupont, Franz Josef Stoiber, Damian Skowroński, and Ireneusz Wyrwa.
