SEIFERT NIGHT

***

Seifert Night is a project that has been born and growing for several years. The idea originally referred to the promotion of Seifert Competition winners abroad. Its organizer, the Zbigniew Seifert Foundation, invited young musicians to individual concerts, which over time evolved into the idea of implementing a much larger-scale, umbrella project called Seifert Night, through which the Foundation can promote not only the music of Zbigniew Seifert, not only the winners of the Seifert Competition, but the Polish jazz scene in the broadest sense.
