Before we hear the sounds of Eufonie 2026, let us return to the impressions from the concert halls from a few months ago, preserved in our memories, lingering behind our eyelids and captured in photographs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Eufonie 2025 featured outstanding artists \u2013 soloists, orchestras, composers and choirs from Poland and Europe \u2013 co-creating the panorama of Central and Eastern European music. Three weeks, ten cities and concerts whose \u201cafterglows and afterimages\u201d will remain with us for a long time. Last year\u2019s edition of the Eufonie Festival took listeners from the turn of the twentieth century, through the birth of modernity, to the end of great narratives. <\/p>\n\n

The concerts\u2019 afterglows and afterimages <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The festival opened with a concert by Olga Pasiecznik with the Equilibrium String Quartet<\/a>, presenting a less familiar early Romantic repertoire: Chopin\u2019s songs and chamber works by Moniuszko, Elsner, Lessel and Kurpi\u0144ski. Among the most important events was a concert by the Lithuanian violinist Julian Rachlin at the Teatr Wielki \u2013 Polish National Opera<\/a>. Krzysztof Penderecki\u2019s St. Luke Passion <\/a>was placed in dialogue with works by Balkan composers Berislav \u0160ipu\u0161 and Frano Para\u0107<\/a>, as well as works by the Estonian master Arvo P\u00e4rt. The festival also showcased a living musical tradition through the Macedonian pianist Simon Trp\u010deski\u2019s project Makedonissimo.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n

The programme also provided an opportunity to celebrate the anniversaries of Arvo P\u00e4rt, Georges Enescu<\/a> and Mikalojus Konstantinas \u010ciurlionis<\/a>. The seventh edition took place during the Chopin Competition year, always a special time for music lovers in Poland. To mark the occasion, the programme also included a series of nine free Chopin recitals performed by young pianists<\/a>, recipients of the Young Poland scholarship programme. <\/p>\n\n

Altersounds <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

There were also concerts for lovers of alternative sounds: Polski Piach performed new arrangements of musical themes from Reksio<\/a>. The programme also featured Hatti Vatti\u2019s <\/a>new album Zeit and the premiere of material from Stefan Weso\u0142owski\u2019s forthcoming album Song of the Night Mists<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Little Eufonie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

For the youngest audiences, Little Eufonie<\/a> presented four concerts in the Royal \u0141azienki Park, featuring educational activities and rhythmic exercises using idiophones.<\/p>\n\n

Afterglows and afterimages in photographs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The motto of last year\u2019s festival evoked subtle illusions and lasting impressions that remain in the memory long after the final note has faded. Those afterimages were also captured in photographs by Grzegorz Karkoszka and Rafa\u0142 Kudyba. <\/p>\n\n
