This year's concert differs from the others in several respects. One of its peculiar features is that the event is dedicated to a well-known linguist promoting correct Polish – prof. Jerzy Bralczyk. It is worth mentioning that on that day (24 January) the Professor will be at the University and will give a lecture as part of the new project of the University employees entitled "Lectures at Długosz's".
