musicus copernicus FROMBORK FESTIVAL edition III

musicus copernicus FROMBORK FESTIVAL is a festival whose guiding idea is "the revolutions of musical spheres" - a reference to Copernicus and his revolution in understanding the world. The third edition takes place on 31 July and 1 August 2026 in the Old Church of St. Nicholas in the centre of Frombork - a historic sanctuary that recently opened as a cultural centre and hosts the festival's music for the first time.

The programme features film music, musical theatre, folk, and popular music. For the first time in the festival's history, international guests will perform.
