On October 30, 2025, at 7:00 PM, the atmospheric concert Missa Brevis in the underground St. Barbara Chapel at the Guido Mine in Zabrze will inaugurate the 12th International Festival of Krzysztof Penderecki – Level 320. The The Polish Radio Choir at the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music, conducted by Maciej Tworek – the long-time assistant to the Patron of the Festival – will fill the underground temple with the harmony of the most beautiful compositions by Bach and Penderecki. These same pieces were performed during the farewell ceremony of the Master at the St. Peter and Paul Church in Kraków. The concert will be a tribute to Krzysztof Penderecki, marking the fifth anniversary of his passing.
