For the second time, we invite the residents of Bydgoszcz to celebrate International Music Day. Established by UNESCO, October 1 is a special date for the City, because after all, we are a UNESCO City of Music. Therefore, we will celebrate not only for this one day, but for over a month. We invite you to concerts and musical events all over the city – in clubs, cultural institutions, art galleries and other interesting places where music feels good. We start on September 15 and end on October 26. This year’s Sound Rehearsal will be even richer than the previous one – we are planning more than 20 events, and more than 200 artists will participate.
The first edition of “Sound Rehearsal” in 2024 was a great success and met with great interest from the people of Bydgoszcz. The concerts filled the halls to the brim, and music resounded in places that rarely become spaces for artists on a daily basis. The enthusiastic reception to the event showed that residents want to experience music in different guises and are open to new artistic proposals.
“Sound Rehearsal” is an opportunity to listen to both excellent local artists and exceptional guests from other cities. The event’s variety of genres will ensure that thereis something for everyone – from classical music, jazz and metal to sound experiments and electronica.
All concerts within the framework of “Sound Rehearsal” are free of charge. FREE ENTRY or RESERVATION OF SEATS applies to some of them.
All tickets will be available for pickup from 1.09 at the box offices of the venues where the events take place. The exception is the performance of ,,Adam Kosmieja – Infinity” at the Symphony Hall of the Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz, for which tickets will be available from 6.10.
