22nd Early Music Festival
Katarzyna Jackowska
Different places in the city centre
Europa Concordia is the motto of the 22nd edition of the Early Music Festival in Szczecin, reflecting the idea of harmony in diversity and the coexistence of the traditions of many nations that have inhabited our continent for centuries.
A key goal of the Festival is to showcase and promote young Polish artists and performers working within the independent early music scene in Poland.
Poland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which runs from January to the end of June 2025, is not only about economic matters, security, or the important topic of EU enlargement. It is also a time to highlight Europe’s centuries-old musical heritage — a legacy we will share with our Festival audience through six concerts held in Szczecin’s historic venues.
