Music comes alive when it is shared.
From 5 to 12 July 2026, 33 young musicians aged 15–26 from Poland, Germany, Ukraine and Greece came together in Krzyżowa for the fifth edition of Music for Future.
For one week, they rehearsed, experimented, learned from one another and spent time together – with and without their instruments. Led by conductor Anna Sułkowska-Migoń, the young musicians prepared a programme for string orchestra featuring music by Mozart, Skalkottas, Grieg, Skoryk and Kilar.
But the week was about much more than rehearsals. Each day included warm-ups, group activities and time to reflect together. Participants explored traditional dances and music from different countries, shared their experiences and got to know one another beyond their musical roles. There was also time to explore Krzyżowa and the region together – from a visit to Książ Castle to an evening around the fire.
