Wratislavia Cantans in Lower Silesia
Bardo, Bielawa, Bolesławiec, Brzeg, Głogów, Kłodzko, Krotoszyn, Oleśnica, Oława, Syców, Szczawno-Zdrój, Środa Śląska and Świdnica will host the artists of the 50. Wratislavia Cantans Festival in September.
For many music lovers from the region, this will be an opportunity to enjoy great concerts of world-class artists (performing exactly the same program as in Wroclaw), especially since not every resident of the region will be able to come to the capital of Lower Silesia. In turn, the Lower Silesian edition of the festival may also be interesting for the Wroclaw fans of classical music, especially that admission to most of the events that take place in churches of Lower Silesia is free. Even if there is an admission to pay, the amount will be much more affordable than those in Wroclaw. And it will also be an opportunity to visit the beautiful regions of Lower Silesia.
See where all of the concerts of the Wratislavia Cantans take place from 9 to 18 September.
We list the free concerts available in the region.
