Poland has organised a classical music festival in the capital this autumn, which will pack 70 concerts into a four-day period.
The “Szalone Dni Muzyki” (Crazy Day of Music) festival, will run from September 29 to October 2 in Warsaw, organisers said, featuring music by Brahms, Liszt, Mahler and Strauss.
“These are short concerts, each lasting around 50 minutes, with ticket prices that put them within the range of a broader public,” the festival’s French artistic director Rene Martin told reporters.
Tickets cost 10 zloty (2.50 euros, $3.60).
The festival, in its second year, is a spin-off of France’s “La Folle Journee”, held in the city of Nantes in Brittany, western France.
A total of 27,000 people attended the 2010 edition, but organisers are hoping to double that this year.

(I won’t mention that the “crazy day” is actually four days long. Nope. Not gonna mention that! Aren’t you glad?)

But I really do love this idea! All this music, four intense days. All affordable. Very cool!

I read it here.
