The Musica Vincit Omnia Foundation is a non-profit organization whose main objectives are to organize classical music concerts and artistic events in order to promote Polish artists, deepen the understanding and appreciation of Polish music abroad and foreign music in Poland.

The Musica Vincit Omnia series has been initiated in November 1999, by a month-long Chopin’s Festival performed in the most prestigious places of Washington DC, the Kennedy Center, Dumbarton Oaks, Kreeger Museum, Phillips Collection and the National Gallery, with the participation of such prominent artists as Krystian Zimerman and Olga Pasiecznik. For the next decades, the Foundation organized numerous concerts in Poland with Gustav Leonhardt, Wieland Kuijken, De Cealis, Huelgas Ensemble, La Fenice, Royal String Quartet, to name a few, and in the United States with the Director of the Smithsonian Chamber Orchestra, Maestro Kenneth Slowik.

The most recent concert took place in October 2022, at the Baird Auditorium of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, paying tribute to Ignacy Jan Paderewski.  This event has been enthusiastically received and praised by music critics as a new chapter of Polish-American cultural relations “through the harmonious alliance of the music of Grażyna Bacewicz, Samuel Barber, Mikołaj Górecki, Ignacy Jan Paderewski and Aaron Copland, wonderfully titled Music From The Heart”.

For her contribution to the promotion of the Polish music, Ms. Małgorzata Markowska, Founder and President of the Musica Vincit Omnia Foundation, was honored with many awards, including the distinction of the Polish Composers’ Union in 2015, and the Medal for Merit to Culture – Gloria Artis awarded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland in 2018. In 2019, Ms. Markowska was appointed to serve on the board of directors of the Chopin Foundation of the United States.
