Slated for 2024, the renowned Usedom Music Festival shifts its focus to Poland's rich musical heritage. Slated for September 22 to October 12, the festival will feature international art heavyweights like Polish pianist Rafal Blechacz and countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński. Additionally, the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, a group founded by the festival itself, will grace the stage of the historic Peenemünde power plant led by Kristjan Järvi.
Each year, the Usedom Music Festival honors the music of a single Baltic country.
Exclusively in mid-May, the festival will also play host to the Arts Festival Summit 2024 - a European cultural scene summit. Over 200 festival industry attendees from across Europe and beyond will flock to the Historisch-Technisches Museum Peenemünde to discuss pressing topics such as inclusion, sustainability, and networking.
Based in the idyllic region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, the festival is set to celebrate Poland's vibrant music scene in 2024.
The festival's program in 2024 will showcase a mix of chamber music and solo concerts, yet the specific artists and ensembles have not been fully confirmed. Accounts of previous performances suggest the involvement of renowned talents like violinist Aleksey Semenenko and musician Ivar Grydeland.
