This year the non-traditional scenery of Bratislava's Botanical Garden will be the unrepeatable backdrop for one of the concerts of the Viva Musica festival!
In Bratislava, Polish artists will present a dramaturgy that includes not only the well-known works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Stanisław Moniuszko but also works by Karol Kurpiński and Józef Elsner, which are almost unknown to Slovak listeners.
Sport
Tai Chi and Wu Tai
Tuesday, July 16, at 18:00 in Park Jama.
An old Chinese exercise focused on relaxed, fluid movement. The emphasis is on mobility, coordination and balance. Ideal for both beginners and those more advanced.
Bring a bottle of water and a mat. Also, choose appropriate clothing for training. The place will be marked with a red Bratislava - Nové Mesto flag and you will recognise the instructor by their yellow T-shirt with a red inscription.
