❗ Important information for participants

XIV Andrzej Krzanowski Accordion Competition

Dear Participants,

Due to numerous questions regarding travel planning and accommodation arrangements in Czechowice-Dziedzice, the Organizers have decided to conduct the draw determining the order of competition hearings earlier.

According to the Competition Regulations, the draw was originally scheduled for 10 August 2026. In response to the needs of participants, we decided to hold it earlier.

The drawn letter applies to both the solo and chamber music categories.

The result of the draw and the recording of the draw procedure can be found below.

Solo category – planned schedule of hearings:

• 28 September (Monday) – approximately 7 participants are planned to perform
• 29 September (Tuesday) – approximately 12 participants are planned to perform
• 30 September (Wednesday) – approximately 12 participants are planned to perform

Chamber music category – planned schedule of hearings:

• 2 October (Friday) – approximately 5 ensembles are planned to perform
• 3 October (Saturday) – approximately 5 ensembles are planned to perform

The final schedule of competition hearings will depend on the number of qualified participants and will be announced after the completion of the qualification process and confirmation of all applications.

Thank you for your understanding. We hope that providing this information earlier will make it easier for you to organize your travel and stay in Czechowice-Dziedzice.

See you in September during the XXVIII Alkagran Autumn Music Festival! 🎶
