For 12 years the Tauron Nowa Muzyka Festival (July 6-9, 2017) has been combining post-industrial locations with futuristic sounds in Katowice. This Festival, which is considered to be one of the top musical events in Poland, presents the most interesting debuts and the greatest stars of modern electronic music, jazz, rock and hip hop every year. Since 2014 the festival has been held in Strefa Kultury in Katowice which was created on the revitalised area of KWK “Katowice” in the Bogucice district.
This year’s Festival will feature performances by Wacław Zimpel (a clarinet player specializing in improvising music who graduated from the Poznań Academy of Music and Hochschule für Musik und Theater w Hanover), Marcin Masecki (a pianist and a composer who is connected with publisher Lado ABC, he graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston and is known for his unconventional approach to playing jazz and classical music) and the Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra (NOSPR).
