A study visit in Paris was planned in connection with the "Paderevsky Orchestra" project, in which musicians from various countries will take part, including Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Norway and France. The project is a development of the "Zone of Musical Experiments", initiated during last year's edition of the "Bass and Beat" festival.

During the study visit, there will be meetings with representatives of French institutions and music communities, such as the composer and drummer Anne Paceo, who will be used to further work on the "Paderevsky Orchestra" project. The talks will concern primarily the formula of the project, stages of its implementation and the possibility of presentation in France in 2019. For this purpose, meetings with representatives of Polish institutions were also planned, including The Polish Institute or the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Paris.
