The Krakow Festival Office
The Krakow Festival Office is a leading Polish promoter of the most renowned cultural events of
national and international significance. It is a municipal cultural institution established in 1997 as the

for proper organisation and promotion of the celebrations which marked the turn of the Millennium.
Currently the Office is an organiser of the most prestigious musical festivals in Poland such as: Sacrum
Profanum Festival, dedicated to contemporary music, presenting monographic concerts performed
in post-industrial buildings with repertoire by the most eminent 20 th and 21 st century composers; the
Misteria Paschalia Festival, closely linked to Holy Week and Easter, considered the most significant
festival in Poland devoted to Early Music. Moreover, the Office manages acclaimed events such as:
Film Music Festival, Opera Rara, International Festival of Independent Cinema Off Plus Camera,
Unsound Festival, Divine Comedy International Theatre Festival, Joseph Conrad International
