03.08.2025 – 48th Karol Szymanowski International Music Festival, Zakopane
The fugue is a masterful musical form rooted in the strict principles of polyphony, where a single theme reappears and intertwines in dialogue across multiple voices. Each voice remains independent, yet part of a unified structure — a musical metaphor for conversation, memory, and harmony in diversity. This year, the fugue takes center stage as the guiding theme of the 48th edition of the Karol Szymanowski International Music Festival, becoming a symbol of artistic heritage in which past and present engage in a deep, many-voiced dialogue.
The Beethoven Academy Orchestra, under the baton of its Principal Guest Conductor, Maestro Jean-Luc Tingaud, will present four great symphonic masterpieces, each rooted in the tradition and transformation of the fugue. Join us for this unique celebration of form, memory, and modern resonance.
