One of the most important classical music festivals in Europe. Established in 1966 by Andrzej Markowski as an oratorio and cantata festival, to this day it focuses primarily on presenting the beauty of the human voice. Each year, star-studded concerts attract thousands of music lovers to the acoustically excellent NFM halls and the historic interiors of Wrocław and Lower Silesia. The Artistic Director of the festival is conductor Andrzej Kosendiak.
