Four traditions, four worlds, four aesthetics – yet the event is open for anybody. Why? Because the language of music is comprehensible all over the world! The 4 Traditions Festival, organised by the Kraków Philharmonic, brings works of Polish composers, rhytms and instruments of the Middle East, Jewish melodies led by a cantor and Orthodox Church songs performed by a male choir.
