For the first time in history, the Warsaw Autumn inauguration takes the form of a cycle of miniconcerts and installations, held in the various nooks and crannies of Warsaw Philharmonic as a complement to the performance presented in the main Concert Hall. Sounds of music will thus fill atypical spaces within the building, which normally serve some technical functions and are not always accessible to the public. Such an event formula makes it possible for all members of the audience to create their own programmes for this festival evening, to decide which places they wish to visit, in what sequence, and how much time to spend in each place. Wandering around the building, visitors will be able to listen to compositions varying in length and character, performed by soloists as well as various orchestral line-ups, and experience contact with art at their own individual pace.
