On 8, 10 and 13 September 2024, the 10th UKRAINE MUSIC DAYS will be held in WARSAW. This is a double anniversary – the 10th Festival and its 25th anniversary. The first Festival took place in 1999. Subsequent ones were held in 2001, 2004, 2012, 2019 and since 2020. The Festival is held annually with the aim of promoting Ukrainian music in our deep conviction of the importance of presenting Ukrainian high culture to a Polish audience. What is happening in Ukraine today – no need to be reminded. The Ukrainians are defending their own independence, but also us against the savage aggression of the barbarians of today. We invite you to visit our concerts and convince yourself of the greatness of Ukrainian musical culture.
