Brahms in Wroclaw - Romantic Adventure
The International Brahms Festival in Wrocław is the first cultural
event in Poland devoted entirely to the music of one of the most
outstanding romantic composers.
Johann Brahms used to come to Wrocław and perform here between 1874
and 1881. He was a versatile musician, he presented himself to Wrocław
audiences as a composer, performer and conductor. In 1879 he was
awarded a honorary doctorate of Wrocław University for his work. As a
token of his gratitude he wrote "Academic Overture" for the
university.
The aim of the Festival is to present the music of Brahms performed
by soloists, choirs and orchestras of international rank, along with
younger artists, just beginning their artistic careers.
We will have the pleasure of listening to recitals, pieces of
chamber music and symphony concerts in the places where Brahms himself
performed his music.
Wrocław- the European Capital of Culture is a city that has always
encouraged the elite of the world culture to come and perform here.
Among others, Franz Liszt and Niccolo Paganini performed in Wrocław.
The Italian virtuoso gave a concert in Aula Leopoldina in 1826.
It was here that world premieres took place, later to become the
masterpieces of world music.
Outstanding artists from all over the world are coming to Wrocław to
enchant our audiences with moving renditions of Brahms' music in the
magical atmosphere of our city.
Wishing you a good time at our concerts,
Yours faithfully,
