For 15 years, La Folle Journ\u00e9e de Varsovie has thrived not only thanks to its artists but also to the hundreds of people engaged behind the scenes. The festival entails countless hours of work, piles of invoices and contracts, and kilometres run during the event. It is also posters, billboards and advertising campaigns in the city space, in cinemas, trams, on the radio and online, as well as thousands of printed programmes. Each year, the team of Sinfonia Varsovia \u2013 both permanent staff and those engaged specially for the festival \u2013 including producers, stage managers, technicians, piano tuners, members of the operations, marketing, stage and front-of-house teams, box office staff, artist liaisons, the print team, photographers, impresarios and programme coordinators, security staff, together with a group of volunteers, the directing team from the Academy of Film and Television documenting the Young Performers<\/em> concerts, dozens of drivers and logistics personnel, and tutors accompanying the visiting school ensembles \u2013 all contribute to the organisation of the festival. Their dedication is a reminder of the enormous organisational machinery that makes La Folle Journ\u00e9e de Varsovie possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
