THE INTERNATIONAL ORGAN MUSIC FESTIVAL IN PELPLIN
The International Organ Music Festival in Pelplin had its predecessor in the Pelplin Chamber Concerts series that was run in the Pelplin Cathedral by the local cultural centre and the Diocesan Curia from 1992. The Concerts were strictly local and the performers predominantly Polish. After the main organ inside the Cathedral had been renovated in 1999, the first edition of the International Organ Music Festival was held.
The International Organ Music Festival in Pelplin had its predecessor in the Pelplin Chamber Concerts series that was run in the Pelplin Cathedral by the local cultural centre and the Diocesan Curia from 1992. The Concerts were strictly local and the performers predominantly Polish.
After the main organ inside the Cathedral had been renovated in 1999, the first edition of the International Organ Music Festival was held. From the very start the Festival became one of major cultural events of its kind in Poland and the biggest and only such event in the Kociewie region and this part of the Pomorskie province – the nearest philharmonic hall is in Gdansk, some 70 km away. Until now the Festival has been managed by Gedymin Grubba, except for the years 2001-03, when Leszek Mateusz Gorecki was the director.
In the meantime the Festival has expanded its artistic agenda, grown the number of concerts and changed its character and rank. Musicians from all over Europe and the world have started to appear side by side with Polish colleagues, and chamber, choral and symphony concerts have been added to organ performances. As a result, the Festival now meets the criteria of a summer philharmonic.
A number of Festival concerts have turned into significant regional cultural events. The scope of the project has made it very popular with the audiences and the media, and the organizers now include the Pelplin Diocesan Curia, Cathedral Parish, Commune and Town Office and Municipal and Communal Cultural, Sports and Recreational Centre.
