Abstract

For decades, the “Warsaw Autumn” International Festival of Contemporary Music served as a window connecting creators from the East and the West. Since its conception, the festival’s mission has been to provide information on current developments in music around the world. The article examines how guitar music has been presented in the context of this premise over the sixty-six editions to date. It compiles all concerts featuring the classical guitar, taking into account their programmes and performers, as well as citing press reports concerning the appearance of the instrument on the Warsaw Autumn stage.
