All the World’s Mazurkas 2016 – AUTUMN EDITION
November 25th-26th, 2016
This year’s autumn edition of the All the World’s Mazurkas Festival combines several parallel threads. The proximity of All Soul’s day prompts memories of musicians which are no longer with us. This year during the concert on Friday 25th of November -at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN in cooperation with Rediscovered Music Foundation – we will evoke the memory of Jewish music, played in the villages. An important part of the second day of the festival will also be the final concert of Polish – Swedish musical project “Poland – Paths of Dance”, whose aim is to show the close association of our musical traditions. There will also be dancers and bands from Mazovia, which are at the heart of the All the World’s Mazurkas \since its inception in 2010. Led by their music workshops, dance and vocal fills a full Saturday (November , 26th) . Everyone who capture and preserve theirs skills during the day , can take advantage at the very well known and traditional Dance-Night , where all rural and urban – bands will play .We hope that autumn edition of Mazurkas will charge your energy during this darker part of the year.
