The city of Rybnik is located in the heart of Upper Silesia, deeply rooted in the region’s tradition but also drawing from the achievements of the present time. This is the place where the most modern solutions correspond with historical buildings; industry coexists with greenery, and comprehensive development respects universal values.
This is the space for activity, new opportunities, promising perspectives, and diverse possibilities. Above all, this is a good place to live, work, and relax. Rybnik is the venue for many cultural and sporting events. Performances by Polish and international stars; music festivals; literary and theatrical events; performances with world-class athletes (primarily speedway riders); a city festival called “The Days of Rybnik”; all these events make Rybnik famous not only to Silesian inhabitants but also to the whole country.
The cultural life of the city develops through institutions such as the Rybnik Theatre, which attracts artists and performers from the top shelf. It is surely the result of their determined activity and long-standing good reputation. The music school in Rybnik also plays a very important role in the city. This educational and cultural institution, with more than 80 years of tradition and experience, promotes the development of musical culture by organizing aspiring concerts and teaching future artists.
The Music School in Rybnik has already educated many outstanding musicians, who have managed to achieve success on Polish and international stages. Adam Makowicz, Piotr Paleczny, Lidia Grychtołówna or Henryk Mikołaj Górecki are just some of them.
