12th International Festival The Oldest Songs of Europe: Tradition and Avant-Garde
6th October-12th October
The festival presents the oldest pieces of music that prove the long history of traditions present in different corners of Europe. The previous editions attracted dozens of groups and soloists from Albania, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine, Slovakia, Serbia and Italy. Archaic songs, whose roots can be found in pre-Christian times, are performed by folk artists of different ages, who come from rural and urban communities. They try to reconstruct the old singing techniques and save songs that are on the verge of disappearance.
The festival provides an opportunity to listen to the few songs preserved in different parts of Europe, to the songs which are still alive or have been brought back to life by ethnomusicologists and artists. Each edition of the festival is preceded by a thorough research conducted by ethnomusicologists and various research centres. The festival is accompanied by workshops of traditional dances, exhibitions, discussions and lectures.
For the full programme see http://npe-festiwal.com/programme/
Admission to all the festival events is FREE.
PHOTOGRAPHY
A Portrait of Social Economy: photography exhibition
6th-7th October
Warsztaty Kultury (Workshops of Culture), ul. Popiełuszki 5.
An exhibition prepared by our very own Marta Sienkiewicz and Anna Dąbrowska for the Social Economy Week.
We highly recommend it, as it's perhaps the only opportunity to see and meet people who do GREAT things but are not to be found on the front pages of newspapers.
