The 26th International Festival "Nova Music and Architecture", Toruń/Kujawsko-Pomorskie 2022

The International Festival "Nova Music and Architecture" is one of the most important and interesting points on the summer cultural map of both Toruń and the entire Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship. Its main idea is to present classical music in the historic and modern interiors of Toruń's architecture.
This year, with sixteen events (24.06 - 27.08.2022), we will be hosted in the Artus Court, the Old Town Hall, the churches of St  Jacob, St  Stephen, the church of the Holy Spirit, as well as the CKK Jordanki, and with four in the online space. The invited performers are musicians of the highest class, as well as musicians of the young generation, winners of music competitions. During the festival there will be symphonic concerts, chamber concerts, film music and musicals and concerts with lectures. The artists from Spain, South Korea, Finland and Lithuania will be hosted at the festival this year.
