3. Festival of Traditional and Avant-Garde Music KODY (CODES) 
until 21 May 2011
The Festival of Traditional and Avant-garde Music “Codes” is a new festival on Lublin’s cultural map. Its first edition took  place in May 2009. It is an international event devoted to the idea of combining the archaic and the new in music. The mixture of two distinctive canons of aesthetics forms a completely unique listening experience where magic and beauty co-exist. The festival gives excellent contemporary music composers and the representatives of the avant-garde jazz an opportunity to meet traditional musicians and artists reconstructing old music. The offer of the Festival includes concerts and the premieres of music projects by recognized artists, as well as young and talented musicians and composers. Lublin-born Jerzy Kornowicz, the commissioner of the Festival, is himself a composer of contemporary music and the president of Polish Composers’ Union.

"SOS of Art" is the brainchild of Sylwia Piotrowicz and Marzena Miszczuk-Głowacka, whose different personalities have come together to create a new place where they are going to work and create on various fronts of artistic expression. This spontaneous idea is aimed at opening the inhabitants of Lublin to art and encouraging them to take active part in cultural life. It will also give an opportunity to those who are unable to exhibit their work in other galleries as well as offer art workshops for adults and children.

Lublin Dance Theatre - Cosmos
20th May (Fri), 7 p.m.
Warsztaty Kultury (Workshops of Culture), ul. Popiełuszki 5
One of the most unusual performances of the Lublin dance theatre scene. The choreography was inspired by the art of Wassily Kandinsky and his theoretical texts. Cosmos shows contemporary dance as if in 3D: making use of movement suspended in the air and then through the use of visual effects creating the illusion of weightlessness.
