"Jan Waraczewski's Music on the Water" concert performed by the M. Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin

Concerts at the AZS Yacht Club marina in Szczecin-Dąbie are events that stay with you for a long time. Music floating over the water’s surface, the open space, and the extraordinary closeness to nature give every sound a new dimension that concert halls simply cannot offer. It is precisely this unique atmosphere that makes “Jan Waraczewski’s Music on the Water” attract crowds every year and consistently inspire awe. Anyone who has attended this event even once knows that it is a concert unlike any other—full of magic and emotion. The great strength of this concert lies in its unique atmosphere—a relaxed, summer evening vibe, the sound of water, and the beautiful music performed by the Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Adam Domurat. The evening’s program includes, among others, the most beautiful, joyful, and spirited pieces by the Viennese Strausses. It all began over two decades ago thanks to Jan Waraczewski—a violinist, sailor, concertmaster, and enthusiast who came up with the idea that classical music could sound wonderful not only in a concert hall, but also by the lake. The idea caught on, and today it’s impossible to imagine the start of summer vacation without this event. It’s truly something special to simply sit by the water on a summer evening in June and listen to music. If you haven’t been yet, it’s worth keeping in mind. It’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellent—they love to drop by the concert, too.
