Steel Soundscape | The Armory's Tale with Live Music

As part of this year's edition of the Festival of Culture without Barriers, we invite you to the Chamber of Deputies of the Wawel Royal Castle, where music and history meet in an unobvious way. In the center of the event will be program music performed on the piano with content related to the chivalry of different eras and the world of court ceremony and royal customs.

The stories of the Wawel military collections will become the starting point for the story, in which the narration of the curator will be intertwined with the author's accompaniment. Fragments of selected compositions will resonate with the story of historic objects, creating a new, fresh look at history. An unusual instrument will also appear in this musical tale, the sound of which can surprise...
