Promoting culture and international understanding
Based in the European city of Görlitz-Zgorzelec, the cultural society Ars Augusta has been promoting culture since 2017. It aims to connect Poland, Germany and in general Europe around our shared cultural heritage, particularly in the field of classical music, theatre and architecture. We are committed to reviving the treasures of our heritage and fostering talent in the young generation.
The society in the Augustastrasse
The society's headquarters, located on the beautiful Augustastrasse (named after Empress Augusta, 1811-1890) in Görlitz, serves as an artist residency (titled "Residency Host" in the European Union's "Culture Moves Europe" 2025 program) and as a cultural venue for events (up to 50 visitors), combined with a professional recording studio. Here we also develop our many important music projects.
The projects
The association's activities currently revolve around four pillars: The international Lied Competition "Bolko von Hochberg" takes place binationally every two years. We combine it with the small opera ensemble "La Compagnia Sassone," which is primarily dedicated to rediscovering Baroque gems from the SLUB (Saxon State and University Library) in Dresden. The Polish-German "Lausitzer Barockensemble" brings the region's Baroque monuments to life with music. And the meeting place: the Augusta Cultural Salon.
