Great composers have attempted this for centuries, and the European musical language has developed so that today we not only understand it but are fascinated by its universality and sincerity. That’s why this year I invite you to a Leo Festival filled with narrative music, where your imagination will need no words. I have also prepared a concert dedicated to younger listeners, during which music will blend with words in Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, with one of Poland’s most distinguished actors, Zbigniew Zamachowski, narrating the tale. There will also be stories about the most expensive and magnificent string instruments, including criminal themes, no less! In keeping with the festival’s tradition and mission, there will also be a concert featuring students and graduates of music academies. 

It will be colourful, diverse, and a little different than usual, so join us and you will surely find something of interest to you.
