The Wieliczka Salt Mine hosts Magnum Sal 2026 in its Warsaw Chamber in Wieliczka on 31 October 2026. The concert is the prologue to the 71st Krakow All Souls' Day Jazz Festival and begins at 6pm.
Magnum Sal brings two jazz productions underground
The programme combines Witkacy MultiArt by Leszek Kulakowski with Ananke by Marek Stryszowski. The mine's representative brass orchestra also takes part in the evening.
The official programme places the concert in the Warsaw Chamber at Dani?owicza 10, Wieliczka. The event listing describes a meeting of jazz, art, words and images, while the operator presents the chamber as the setting for one evening of live music. The operator's event listing gives the date, venue and programme details.
Wieliczka Salt Mine links the concert to mining history
The venue is part of a historic underground complex that has been worked since the thirteenth century. UNESCO says the Wieliczka and Bochnia Royal Salt Mines were operated continuously from the thirteenth century until the late twentieth century.
The World Heritage property preserves galleries, chapels, statues, tools and machinery shaped by the history of rock-salt mining. An underground tourist route has existed since the early nineteenth century, so the concert's chamber setting places a modern jazz programme inside a landscape created by centuries of extraction. UNESCO describes the site's World Heritage history.
The Warsaw Chamber is also associated with the mine's underground event programme. Its depth gives the 31 October concert a direct connection to the physical spaces that distinguish this former industrial operation from an ordinary city concert hall.
