What would culture be without patronage? The question is explored by the Lubomirski Festival, dedicated to the composer Władysław Lubomirski, leading patron of composers of the Young Poland movement. During the Cracovian instalment of the event (held also at the Wieliczka Salt Mine), we will hear works by composers supported by Lubomirski including Fitelberg and Szymanowski, and Polish opera arias performed by the baritone Viktor Yankovski.
