Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

There are things you just have to hear and see. One of them is the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Lusławice, whose educational and concert programmes we have been the patron of for the past six years. Thousands of participants took part in the courses, whose concerts gathered an audience of dozen thousand every year. We also helped to equip the interiors of the impressive Cen- tre with armchairs, thanks to which the listeners can fully enjoy the beauty of music. The idea behind the establishment of that unique ven- ue was to create conditions for young artists to confront their peers and make contact with undisputed authorities from the Polish and European world of music. The Centre is vibrant with music throughout the year, inviting artists and audiences to concerts, festivals, courses, seminars, meetings and music workshops. 7.3 Our input in culture The Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Lusławice Every year, you can take part in more than 40 concerts, as part of the Emanacje festival, in Lusławice as well as nearby Gorlice, Bochnia and Nowy Wiśnicz.
