This September, Warsaw once again becomes a meeting point of global sounds as the Cross-Culture Festival returns for its 21st edition. Organized by Stołeczna Estrada for over two decades, the festival has built a reputation as one of the city’s most vibrant cultural events, presenting leading voices from around the world.
To mark the 70th anniversary of Stołeczna Estrada, the celebrations begin with a special pre-festival concert: MoZuluArt & Ambassade String Quartet on September 4th at the Witold Lutosławski Polish Radio Concert Studio. Fusing Mozart with traditional Zulu harmonies, MoZuluArt has enchanted audiences internationally and will perform in Warsaw alongside the acclaimed Viennese Ambassade String Quartet – promising an unforgettable, multi-layered sound.
From September 12–14, the festival proper takes over the Dramatyczny Theatre with six concerts spanning continents and traditions. Highlights include the powerful wassoulou voice of Oumou Sangaré, desert blues legend Bombino, Armenian innovators The Naghash Ensemble, Kurdish collective Adel Naderi & Hawraman, Corsican polyphonists L’Alba, and Latin jazz great Paquito D’Rivera Trio.
For three days, Warsaw becomes a stage for identity, memory, and freedom told through music.
