Krzyżowa-Music for All

Apart from the joy of bringing people together with each other and our musicians for a profound communion through music, we hope that the beauty of classical chamber music will touch them deeply, ignite a passion for culture and stimulate their creativity.

Viviane Hagner

Violinist Viviane Hagner (BBT Award 2004) is co-founder and artistic director of Krzyżowa-Music in Poland, an annual festival established in 2015 that provides aspiring young musicians the opportunity to rehearse and perform with internationally acclaimed artists. Situated in a historic village surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Lower Silesia, it has a strong local following while also attracting audiences from further afield.

Viviane’s Encore project, Krzyżowa-Music for All, will launch in summer 2025 and will bring concerts to members of the local community who are unable to visit the Festival for reasons of health or economic circumstances. As well as bringing wellbeing, togetherness and enjoyment to those who are struggling or feeling isolated, Krzyżowa-Music for All will help young musicians to appreciate the mutual benefits of community engagement and social contribution. Krzyżowa-Music will offer them mentorship and opportunity to further discuss ideas and activities that they can take home to their own communities.
