On Saturday, June 25, the "Sacrum Non Profanum" International Music Festival was inaugurated at the Lentz Villa. During the concert, accordionist Jarosław Buczkowski performed his own pieces, compositions by Astor Piazolla and jazz standards. Moreover, the film by Leszek Szopa entitled Dziesięciu Wspaniałych, in which the artist recalled the profiles of the festival's patrons, including Krzysztof Penderecki, Wojciech Kilar, Andrzej Panufnik and Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.
In the evening, the audience that came to the gardens of the Lentz Villa met fairies along with forest spirits, fortune-tellers, nymphs and wizards. Unusual guests are the heroes of the semi-opera entitled The Fairy Queen by English Baroque composer Henry Purcell (1659-1695). The libretto for the composition was probably created by Thomas Bettertonna (1635-1710) based on William Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The work, prepared by the Academy of Early Music Foundation, was performed by Ingrid Gapova – soprano (Slovakia), Volodymyr Andruszczak – bass (Ukraine) and the Famd.pl Orchestra conducted by Paweł Osuchowski. Michał Janicki was the narrator.
