The Rywka Tiktiner Jewish Music Festival became a new tradition in Tykocin – a celebration of Jewish culture that combined concerts, meetings, and community events. Its stage was the Great Synagogue, one of the most beautiful and best-preserved monuments of Jewish heritage in Poland.

We once again gathered at the Jewish Music Festival in the beautiful synagogue in Tykocin.

This year’s festival was a celebration of chamber music. During spring evenings, the audience could experience virtuosic duets. The encounter of two soloists on this extraordinary stage offered a chance to explore the richness of dialogue and partnership in music.

The Festival was a feast, a unique meeting that brought together the residents of Tykocin, visitors from afar, and those who happened to stop by – captivated by this special place, its culture, and its history. Its open format and the synagogue’s excellent acoustics allowed Jewish music to shine brilliantly, remain in memory, and inspire further discovery.
