The 7th Jan Nepomucen Bobrowicz Days are held under the banner “Spanish Guitar Music: the Historical and Cultural Phenomenon. Roots, Inspirations, Sources”. Its rich programme comprises lectures, master classes and concerts devoted to the Baroque guitar (Xavier Diaz-Latorre, Anna Wiktoria Swoboda) and flamenco (Michał Czachowski). The excellent artist Gabriel Bianco, Campbell Diamond (Australia) and Xavier Diaz-Latorre will appear at the event for the first. The annual lutherie conference will be accompanied by the instrument presentations.
The patron of the Jan Nepomucen Bobrowicz Days was a 19th-century Polish virtuoso guitarist, composer, music editor, and publisher, called by Franz Liszt “the Chopin of guitar”, who was born in Kraków.
