The tradition of musical meetings during the summertime goes back over twenty years. Up until 2012, the concerts were held in the Poznań City Hall (they were then known as the Town Hall Summer Concerts). Since 2013, the event moved to a new venue: the Stefan Stuligrosz Auditorium (its name changed to The Summer Stage at the Academy of Music). This year's edition has been set in a new space in the Olimpia Music Theatre, which the institution has acquired for its artistic pursuits. 

In the time of Covid-19 restrictions, concerts will be recorded and shared on websites and social media.
