Organ Duo Competition PER ORGANO A QUATTRO MANI

One of the flagship components of the initiative undertaken by the SOKÓŁ MCC is the International Organ Duo Competition PER ORGANO A QUATTRO MANI, organized for the first time this year. It is an exceptional undertaking, since it draws the attention of organists and music lovers to a relatively rarely performed repertory, which is not only attractive concert literature, but also has substantial educational value.

Organ Duo will perform their presentations in two organ locations: SOKÓŁ Małopolska Culture Centre and  the St. Casimir church.

 

1. The competition consists of preliminary selection based on audio-video recording and of three rounds which will take place in the following locations in Nowy Sącz:
   
   
   a.  Round 1, 15-16 April 2018,
         Lucjan Lipiński Hall, SOKÓŁ MCC,
   b.   Round 2, 18 April 2018,
