The 12th Krakow Festival of Advent and Christmas Songs will once again gather amateur choirs from around the world in our city. The performers will present Advent, Christmas and sacred repertoire during concerts and competition auditions in Krakow's historical churches. The event's contest formula is an important factor, however the most important one has always been the joy of joint singing.
