Welcome by Andrzej Kosendiak
Director of the International Festival Wratislavia Cantans and the
National Forum of Music, Wroclaw, Poland
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I am very happy that this year the National Forum of Music hosts a conference of the
European Festivals Association. In culture, just as in any other sphere of our life, we achieve
more when we collaborate, therefore the role of the European Festivals Association has been
of utter importance for over six decades now, facilitating co-operations between its
members: festivals of music, dance, theatre and interdisciplinary events. The fact that we can
share international experiences and learn about the cultures of various European countries,
so close to us, and yet so fascinating in their diversity, has been hugely inspiring to artists and
managers. Therefore I am so delighted that the festivals run by the NFM, such as the
International Festival Wratislavia Cantans, have been EFA members for a long time. I do hope our guests from across
Europe will feel terrific in Wrocław – the European Capital of Culture 2016 and in our wonderful new venue of the
National Forum of Music.”

Welcome by EFA
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Members of the Association,
We are happy to welcome you to the 65th edition of the General
Assembly of the European Festivals Association (EFA), hosted by
the National Forum of Music, organiser of the International Festival
Wratislavia Cantans, and Wroclaw European Capital of Culture
2016. We are delighted to welcome also all partners from Wroclaw
and Poland, representatives from the cultural sector and politics,
international speakers, candidates for EFA membership, Alumni of
The Festival Academy, friends and guests.
The General Assembly is one of the main activities for EFA members, where they can meet each other, create alliances
and to learn about each other’s activities in the arts and can discuss the association’s programs and future plans. EFA
is a dynamic and diverse network of festivals. EFA helps festivals to connect, to access information, to do their work
better. EFA supports its members to function exceptional in an open, European and global society. The network
becomes alive and dynamic through the active participation and commitment of EFA members.
It’s needed today more than ever. Festivals are needed so the association is needed! EFA helps festival directors and
staff meet so they can seek mutual inspiration, exchange knowledge, increase networking opportunities, keep
informed about the leading issues in their world and that of culture in general, and speak with a single voice loud
enough to shape policy development. Its banner is that of artistic excellence and internationalism.
While all of this is extremely important, we cannot ignore the disturbing times we live in. As Marietje Schaake , a
member of the European Parliament writes in her essay in the new edition of EFA BOOKS ‘Beyond Visions’, “With an
unprecedented eruption of violence in countries close to Europe, the impact of war and repression on freedoms and
cultural expression should not be underestimated.” We must continue to work doggedly to ensure that culture and
politics continue to play a central role in protecting our open societies and free cultural expression.
We believe festivals have a responsibility in the development of the shared, multicultural, free space defended by the
European Union. We believe festivals must contribute to shaping the policy developments that offer them the right
conditions to continue their vitally important work, and that they have valuable expertise to share with the
lawmakers. The National Forum of Music in Wroclaw offers the perfect backdrop for our hands-on conversations
about the arts and artists in today’s festivals’ programmes. This impressive concert hall was inaugurated in September
2015 after an intense and thorough 10-year process of development. Its Director Andrzej Kosendiak, the city of
Wroclaw and Poland as a country are now opening the doors for artists and audiences to one of the most impressive
acoustic and architectural experiences worldwide.
The EFA Conference For heaven’s sake! will bring us stimulating discussion panels with international speakers on
topics such as artistic collaboration, festival life In Europe, Africa, Asia and the world, copyright and the future of The
Festival Academy.
The formal General Assembly is the moment to discuss the overall functioning of the Association. We will update you
about EFA’s initiatives, and report back on the work accomplished for and together with you in 2015, reviewing
objectives for 2016, and looking ahead to our ambitions for 2017.
We would like to wish all of us an excellent time together and express our sincere gratitude to the host of this year’s
General Assembly, the National Forum of Music, and all its partners, for the wonderful programme they have
prepared for us.
Sincerely yours,
Darko Brlek

In these days cold reflection knowledge is power. And EFA has for 10 years now been doing its share for
sharing knowledge through its extraordinary training programmes. From Goerlitz to Gwangju Budapest
passing through Germany, Bulgaria, Singapore, Turkey, Slovenia, the UK, Poland, Lebanon and SouthKorea it has gathered 335 young festival managers from 65 countries and all continents in the Atelier for
young Festival Managers. An initiative from EFA that crosses borders, generations and art forms. At this 10

Curator Wroclaw ECoC 2016), others tbc
In these days cold reflection generosity and solidarity are the only things that can save us from this world
being hell for everyone. And these are, and have always been, the greater strengths of the Arts sector. We
have gotten together to bring to life the best programmes possible. We have always helped a colleague in
need with information, contacts, material or even just with an external eye to bounce ideas off. In this
session on artistic collaboration and business ideas we invite you to discuss on how do we create
communities? To ask and offer your ideas for projects that you want to work with in collaboration with
your colleagues. Is it a specific artist you need help to programme? Is it a cross country festival idea? Is it a
5
co-production? Here is one of the moments during these 3 days that you can briefly entice your colleagues
to come discuss it with you in depth after. Since when we talk about the dream programme the financial
anxieties always play a role, business and marketing managers are also invited to share and discuss their
ideas, preoccupations and solutions. A financially sustainable situation will always allow the artistic vision
to spread its wings.

For knowledge’s sake |Pearle EFA RISE guide to surviving legislation (National Forum of Music, Black
Hall)
Olivier Sasserath (Lawyer at MVVP and expert Music Copyright)
In these days of closing borders the Arts continue to show that crossing them is the only way to live. That
crossing them brings us knowledge, richness and joy. Festivals have been doing that since the beginning of
times and are not about to stop. However it is not always simple, budgets, world conflicts, natural
catastrophes sometimes hinder free movement. Legislation too with its incomprehensible articles and subarticles, its interpretation doubt-raising babble. Against this last hindrance we can help. With Pearle EFA
has worked on workshops and booklets that simplify the understanding of legislation affecting the
performing arts. You don’t have to be a lawyer (or hire one) to understand how to navigate the law. In
Wroclaw we’ll do this for copyright. As organisations bringing live performances in cross border context,
we all have to deal with copyright, and discussions often are about who is clearing which rights, who’s
responsible for the payment in which country. The production house or touring company? Who deals with
copyright when we created a piece using text, film, music, dance,… specially composed for this particular
organization? What if we use an existing composition from an author represented by that particular
company or not, originally composed or resampled, using excerpts of it on social media and websites,… ?
This workshop aims to reveal the issue of the copyrights in an international context in a very broad
manner. EU policies and relevant parts will be lighted up, as well as the base of copyrights and tips & tricks
for negotiations and contracts. Bring your questions, bring your doubts, brings that hairy problem no one
seems to have given you an answer for and let the expert shed some light into it.

and cultural hub in the East of Europe.
Situated at the banks of the Oder-river and colorfully decorated with more than 100 bridges and a maze of islands,
Wrocław rightly gained the title of the “Venice of Poland”.
In the meantime, Wrocław is bursting at the seams with cozy cafes, excellent restaurants and charming hotels.
Wrocław is the European Capital for Culture of 2016 and has a lot to offer to honor this title. Wrocław is quickly
establishing itself as one of Poland's brightest spots for culture. This very remarkable knowing that the city has
suffered a lot during the Second World War. The city has belonged to several occupiers, but this mixture of many
different religions and cultures, while troublesome at times, has also contributed a lot to the city.
Wrocław’s Market Square dates from the 14th century and is built on the crossroads of important transport routes.
The wealth of Wrocław’s residents was built on international trade, and the city grew rich from the taxes flowing into
its coffers. With over 20,000 residents in the 14th century, Wrocław was among the largest cities of Europe at the
time.
Important people like kings, emperors and presidents have resident in Wrocław. Today their former residences are
the most beautiful buildings in the Market Square. Furthermore, the Town Hall is recognized as a gem of GothicRenaissance urban architecture.
Wrocław has plenty of worth seeing venues like its city hall- that houses a museum, restaurant and concert hall-, loads
of beautiful churches among which the magnificent cathedral of St. John the Baptist. In the oldest part of the city you
can visit the Ostrów Tumski which means Cathedral Island and where the first church on what used to be an island
was built in the 10th century.
When walking around in the pleasant buzz of the city center, open your detailed eye and you will be surprised about
the secret attractions the city has to offer: ‘Krasnale’ in local parlance, little dwarfs that are ubiquitous in the city
center, constantly underfoot and only seen by the observant. You may well overlook the first dozen that cross your
path, but inevitably – and often literally - you will stumble upon these popular local residents.
These funny creatures represent the Orange Alternative, an anti-communist movement in Poland which found its
origin in Wrocław. Its main purpose was to offer a wider group of citizens an alternative way of opposition against the
authoritarian regime by means of a peaceful protest that used absurd and nonsensical elements. Initially it painted
ridiculous graffiti of dwarfs on paint spots covering up anti-government slogans on city walls. The first graffiti was
painted by Waldemar ‘Major’ Fydrych in August 1982.
Afterwards, beginning with 1985 through 1990, the movement organized a series of more than sixty happenings in
several Polish cities. It was the most picturesque element of Polish opposition to Stalinist authoritarianism. It
suspended activity in 1989, but reactivated in 2001 and has been active on a small scale
ever since. The first gnome in its modern statuette form was Papa Krasnal who was placed in 2001 on the corner of ul.
Świdnicka and ul. Kazimierza Wielkiego, near the subway where Orange Alternative demonstrations often took place.
Things really took off in 2005, however, when local artist Tomasz Moczek - a graduate of the Wrocław Academy of
Fine Arts – was commissioned by Wrocław City Council to create five more gnomes. The little devils proved so popular
that envious local businesses quickly got in on the game by contracting other local artists to produce more, and in
13
almost no time all gnomes had proliferated around Wrocław to the point that they now constitute a veritable ‘subpopulation’ of the city. As nowadays there are around 300 little statues hidden in the city, it is impossible to keep
track of them on your own. Therefore there exist smartphone applications in order to track the dwarfs that are spread
all over the city. Apart from that, you can add new dwarfs you found on the website krasnale.pl.
As beautiful as the city is today, as turbulent is Wrocław’s history. Wrocław was governed first by the Polish Kings in
the 10th century; from the 13th century onwards the city was populated predominantly by Germans. It was German
settlers at this time that helped to rebuild the city after it had been sacked by the Mongols and to turn it into a
thriving commercial center. In the centuries that followed Wrocław prospered under both the Bohemians and the
Austrians, before, in 1741, Frederick the Great II took hold of the city and officially changed the name to Breslau. In
the next 200 years, the city got increasingly Germanised, although it was only in the years directly following the Nazis
seizure of power in 1933 that this was done with aggressive intent. By 1938 the entire Polish community had been
forced out of the city, along with two thirds of the Jews.
During the events of World War II Breslau became the last stronghold of the Third Reich in the struggle against the
Soviet forces.
In the aftermath of the World War II, Stalin effectively shifted the whole of Poland West so as to include formerly
Polish into the Soviet Union - granting Poland formerly German cities like Breslau as means of recompense. As a result,
the remainder of the German population of Breslau was evicted and forced to relocate within Germany's newly drawn
frontiers Breslau was given back its Polish name, Wrocław.
Great effort was made to propagate the myth of Wrocław as a Polish city that has at last been returned from the
hands of the dastardly Nazis to its rightful owners. Firstly Wrocław wanted to 'de-Germanising' the city with the
removal of all German writings and inscriptions, and secondly in the restoration of the splendid 13th century buildings
destroyed in the war, so that the bruised and battered city could hold its head high once more and embrace the future
as a beautifully-restored Polish town.
Despite all the complications of its contentious past, or perhaps because of them, Wrocław is a relaxed and forwardlooking city that is keen to brush the cobwebs of history under the carpet. No one is keener to join them than the
Germans. This mutual acceptance of guilt serves the city of Wrocław well. Although the fact is that you can forgive,
but you can never forget - which is why Wrocław today is full of German tourists hoping to find some small trace of
the Breslau that they left behind.

MusMA - Music Masters on Air
What is MusMa?
Born in 2010, MusMA is a cooperation project that supports and promotes the artistic creativity of young and
innovative composers in the field of classical music. Sustained by a network of European Festivals, the project enjoys
the patronage of EFA. Not only do the artistic creations conceived within the framework of the project first come to
life during the various festivals, but they also enjoy the promotion of the festival’s partners: the national radios and
the European Broadcasting Union.
MUSMA, Music Masters on Air, brings together some important European festivals to commission and produce new
music in a network of exchanges and promotion of original works, thus tracing the paths of European creativity and
rewarding the artistic vision of young people in contemporary classical music. One of our main ambitions is to move
people to more deeply discover the diverse sounds of new and innovative classical music. Young, creative artists and
composers have new ideas, new visions and new means to invigorate the genre, and should hence be given the
chance to bring their creations to the European citizens, a public outstretching the national boundaries. To imagine an
audience of over a million and a half can procure a certain blank page-anxiety for a rookie composer. With the
complicity of many radio networks, Europe becomes the endless theater of MUSMA offering a great young talent the
occasion of an extraordinary debut! Composers of the new generation, masters of the new era, take a flight to present
their work abroad. European Festivals join forces to develop a platform to welcome this new, unknown contemporary
music… Major European festivals, with the support of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the European
Festival Association (EFA) pitch these contemporary composers beyond the borders, straight into the air!
How does it work?
Each year, one of the participating festivals chose a theme for the MusMA year. Moreover each festival choses a
young (less than 35 years of age) composer to create a new work with the chosen theme in mind. Two are the
request: - The piece should be of about 10 minutes - The work should be written for a given ensemble (piano solo,
wind quintet, chamber choir…) which is common to all festivals Composers and musicians meet at a General Atelier,
to rehearse and discuss the new works. This is an incredible opportunity for the composers: to make new and
important contacts, to discuss thoroughly their ideas on music composition and to confront their work with whom is
supposed to perform them and to programme it. After the Atelier, each festival takes it on him to organize a MusMA
concert: a performance of the new music by the MusMA ensemble, who will travel all festivals. In each country, the
designated radio records and broadcasts the various MusMA concert. Each record is then forwarded to the EBU
European Broadcasting Union who offers them to its members for further broadcasting. MusMA thus implemented a
simple and cost-effective strategy that has allowed the music created in its frame to reach each step of the way (the
18
creation, the practice, the concerts, the broadcasting, the diffusion on the EBU platform) an increasing amount of
people and radio-listeners in Europe.
In 2016…
the MusMA theme will be Passion and Belief.
The Ensemble, presented by the Wratislavia Cantans festival, will be the Polish Cello Quartet
The Festival de Wallonie will host the MusMA VI Atelier inside the Conservatory of Mons on the 21st of March.
