Jan

January is just the first month of Jan Heweliusz (or Johannes Hevelius as he is often called) Year, celebrating the work of the noted astronomer who was born in Gdansk 400 years ago. This month, an inaugural concert will take place at the Baltic Philharmonic featuring the vocals of Cassandra Wilson (30 Jan). There are many other special events, such as an exhibition at the City Museum displaying contemporary instruments of astronomy (on until 22 May).
