The Phonographic Academy [Akademia Fonograficzna] and the Association of Audio Video Producers [Związek Producentów Audio Video – ZPAV] have opened up the first round of voting for the FRYDERKI 2024 Awards—Poland’s equivalent of the American Grammy Awards.
Since 1995, the FRYDERKI Awards have been recognized by Polish musicians as the most prestigious awards in the Polish phonographic industry. FRYDERKI are divided into three categories: classical music, jazz, and popular music. The winners are nominated by a group of over 2,000 musicians, authors, composers, producers, and journalists who are the members of the Phonographic Academy.
We’ve received some excellent news from our friends from SPMK [Stowarzyszenie Polskich Muzyków Kameralistów] that many of their members are nominated this year for this prestigious award! The nominated albums are:
