Castle Nights: Midge Ure

The first professional, full-format cultural event in the more than 700-year history of Szymbark Castle, a concert by Midge Ure - the star of the new romantic movement and leader of the band Ultravox. Set against the backdrop of the monumental castle ruins, the concert will inaugurate cyclical cultural events under the Castle Nights project.

Midge Ure is a legendary musician, synth-pop genius, former leader and singer of the band Ultravox, and co-organizer of one of the largest charity concerts under the banner of Live Aid. Endowed with an electrifying voice, during his long career the artist not only shaped the history of world music in the 1980s through such songs as Vienna, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes and The Voice, but achieved numerous successes and recognition as a solo artist. His timeless musical work, based on melodic refrains and piercing synth sounds, will play in the unusual setting of 14th-century historic architecture surrounded by Masurian forests and Lake Szymbarskie. According to the unforgettable journalist Tomasz Beksinski, Ultravox music is the most romantic of romantic musicians. In addition to the performance of the evening's star, a number of further additional unique attractions will be prepared.
