In addition, our team has been singing artists for years, the first graduates of the class of Monika Swarowska-Walawska - Miranda Exner and Joanna Petryka - Wawrowska.
about the patron ..( więcej w podstronie )
It is impossible not to mention the patron of this Festival Professor Monika Swarowska-Walawska. Professor Swarowska-Walawska was a great artist sadly who left us in August this year, leaving behind an extremely important and valuable artistic legacy. In addition to being the principle soloist at Kraków opera she also performed all over Europe and North America. She was a prize winner at several international competitions including Voci Verdiane in Busseto and the Francisco Vinas competition in Bracelona. At home Professor Walawska gave guest performances at many of the important opera houses in Poland including Poznań, Łódź, and Wrocław. She made numerous recordings for Polish Radio and Television including collaboration with Polish Opera Television, conducted by Marek Tracz, in conjunction with the Stagione Teatro Italiana..
There are no age limits or vocal training requirements for workshop participants. As every year, anyone who loves singing and would like to work on their voice under the watchful eye of our amazing teachers can take part in them. It is an offer for amateurs who are just starting their adventure with singing, or who simply love to sing and want to take part in full artistic experiences, as well as for more advanced people - such as students or graduates of music academies, for which an offer of vocal master classes is prepared.
