A castle of sound

The inaugural concert from Orchestra di Otto took place on Sunday. This will be followed in May when one of the world's top flutists, Jadwiga Kotnowska, will play two divertimentos as well as two concerts.

Then, in June, the Wilanów Quartet and Stefan Kamasa will perform Mozart violin quartets and quintets. Also, at the Polish National Opera, the premiere of The Magic Flute, directed by the German director Achim Freyer, will take place. In September a performance of Mozart piano compositions will take place.

"We want the Royal Castle to be associated with Polish music as we are aiming at merging high art and business here," says Aleksandra Buszta-Bšk, the concerts' organizer. "I want the beautiful interiors of the Royal Castle to become the scenery for great music performed by the best Polish creators."
