Krzyżowa-Music is the International Chamber Music Festival for future generations.
It is organised every year in Krzyżowa, a place that symbolises like no other the desire for peaceful European integration, exchange and culture. Every summer, master-class music workshops with a festival character take place here.
World-renowned musicians and promising classical music talents under the artistic direction of Viviane Hagner come together for joint playing of music and intergenerational exchange. The Krzyżowa-Music Seniors and Juniors will present the results of their cooperation during concerts taking place in Lower Silesia: in Krzyżowa, Wrocław, Szczawno-Zdrój, Jawor and Grodziszcze.

This year, when a peaceful Europe is more threatened than ever, the festival focuses on an important part of that strength: music and culture.
