The ticket sales will start on 3 January and finish on 31 January, after which the conncert will be no longer available on the platform.

The entire income from ticket sales will be donated to the University Hospital in Kraków and the Children’s University Hospital in Kraków.

It will also be possible to “visit” some of the most beautiful and interesting places of the Jagiellonian University, as the performance was recorded in the stately assembly hall of Collegium Novum, the historic building of Collegium Maius, the Manor House in Modlnica, the state-of-the-art Faculty of Chemistry building, as well as the JU Botanical Garden.

On 6 January the entire JU academic community will get an e-mail granting one-week-long free access to the concert (regardless of the access via the VOD PLAY KRAKÓW platform).

Please enjoy the concert and, if possible, support our hospitals.
