Located close to the famous composer’s estate, it is to serve as a training centre for young instrumentalists, singers and conductors from across Europe. The project comprises a concert hall with an auditorium for 550 people, rehearsal rooms and hotel facilities.


Krzysztof Penderecki, who was present during the signing of the financial agreement at the Ministry, said that this was a fulfilment of his dreams.
