11th Days of Ukrainian Music in Warsaw
DAYS OF UKRAINIAN MUSIC IN WARSAW
The 11th DAYS OF UKRAINE MUSIC IN WARSAW will take place on 7, 9 and 12 September 2025. This marks the opening of the next “decade” of our Festival, which has been held annually since 2020 thanks to three-year grants from the City of Warsaw and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in cooperation with the National Institute of Music and Dance, as well as the support of the ZAiKS Authors’ Association and the MAGOVOX Foundation. We are organising this festival in the deep conviction of the importance of introducing Ukrainian high culture to Polish audiences.
2025 is another year for Ukraine to hold back Moscow’s onslaught, which is attacking today’s Europe like the Huns and Vandals attacked Rome years ago. We are defending European Civilisation with music.
You are welcome!
