“Our Institute fosters the development of artists, as well as promotes the legacy of Polish music," commented Katarzyna Meissner, Director of the National Institute of Music and Dance. "Occasions like these provide splendid opportunities to show the world what is best in Polish culture. Hence, it is with pride that we make our contribution to the organization of such an excellent event, one that has already become part of Polish history."
