SzólóDuó 2023 

14-17. June 2023

SzólóDuó 2023 eceptionally will take place in Bytom, Poland.

The competition program of the Festival can receive 20 performances. We want to ensure the possibility for everyone to perform regardless of the large number of applications, therefore SzólóDuó Festival is going to be completed with nomination-rounds. The nomination rounds will be held in four different countries and online, via video. According to plans the nomination rounds will take place during Spring in Hungary, Poland and the Netherlands. In Germany it was held in May 2022.

The festival can not host performances in which there is no intention for a unique presentation, which means improvisations without any structure, or traditional folk dance pieces will not be accepted.

Application deadline to the Hungarian-nomination round: 12 April 2023
Application deadline to the video round: 1 April 2023

(The latest arrival date of the application form, the youtube link, and the pictures)

If the applicant wishes to perform his /her show live in the Hungarian nomination-round is welcome but his/her trip is self-financed.

Orkesztika Alapítvány (Foundation) reserves the right for all changes.
