Welcome to the 29th edition of the Ludwig van Beethoven Easter Festival. During the 12 festival days we will hear 8 symphonic concerts, 3 song recitals, 2 piano recitals and 2 chamber concerts. Elżbieta Penderecka, director of the Festival, has invited many outstanding soloists and conductors, as well as the best national and international symphony orchestras to participate in the concerts.
