Europe’s strength lies in the power of its cultures.

Krzyżowa-Music is the chamber music festival for the next generation, set in the heart of Europe. Here, musical talents from every continent come together with the defining musical figures of our time. Together, they perform a fascinating, wide-ranging chamber music repertoire—from Bach to the present day—at the highest level. They bring it to life in numerous workshops and concerts.

But Krzyżowa-Music is more than just a chamber music festival, for Krzyżowa is a historically significant place of encounter and reflection. It was here that courageous people envisioned a peaceful Europe during World War II. It is precisely this Europe that enables musicians from all corners of the world, from diverse cultural backgrounds and with a wide range of beliefs, to come together today for an internationally renowned chamber music festival. Here, musicians from around the globe seek a common language; here, they learn from one another and strive for the perfect sound. And beyond that, we want to encourage them at this historic site to become aware of their civic responsibility as role models.
