The Zygmunt Haupt Festival comprises events that focus on the figure and artistic output of Zygmunt Haupt, events dedicated to contemporary literature… but not just that.

For everyone who decides to come to Gorlice and Szymbark on September 18th-27th, the organisers have prepared interesting musical program highlights.

The first concert will take place on Sunday, September 20th, at the Groblewski Manor IGiPZ PAN in Szymbark-Bystrzyca, where at 8:45PM we will hear the group LABORATORIUM PIEŚNI. The Tricity vocal band will present traditional Ukrainian, Balkan, Polish, Georgian, and Scandinavian songs, and the Groblewski Manor will be filled with the sound of ethnic instruments – shaman drums, percussion, and bells. Whereas on September 25th (Friday) at 8PM in the Gorlice Culture Centre we will listen to MISHA ALPERIN, Ukrainian pianist, composer, and arranger who is collaborating with the prestigious record company ECM. Apart from his own compositions Alperin plays jazz pieces and performs a repertoire inspired by classical and traditional music from eastern and Scandinavian countries. The festival’s last concert will be a performance by Yuri Andrukhovych with the band Karbido, presenting the ATLAS ESTREMO project. The starting point for this musical-literary show was Andrukhovych’s book of prose – “The lexicon of intimate cities.” The concert will take place in the Gorlice Culture Centre on September 26th at 8PM.

Admission to all festival events is free. Details and descriptions of all events can be found under the PROGRAM tab.
