Concerts in Zgierz take place almost exclusively in one venue - the Miejski Ośrodek Kultury Stary Młyn (Stary Młyn Municipal Cultural Centre) on Długa Street. Music in Zgierz covers a wide range of genres: from jazz through popular and dance music to performances by amateur groups based at the centre, so it is worth checking the calendar regularly rather than relying on a single fixed offer.
Miejski Ośrodek Kultury Stary Młyn is the city's main, and practically only, regular concert venue. Alongside individual guest concerts, its calendar also features recurring signature events - from a jazz festival to performances by vocal groups based at the centre itself.
Stary Młyn organises a recurring jazz festival, during which different line-ups take the same stage in turn: from acoustic quartets, through a trio blending several musical traditions, to bigger concerts with elaborate arrangements. The festival format means several concerts spread over a short period, so it is worth checking the whole programme, not just a single date.
Alongside jazz, the Stary Młyn calendar also features concerts pairing well-known hits with new arrangements, performed by bigger line-ups with an orchestra and vocalists, as well as performances by song and dance ensembles presenting regional repertoire, including dances and songs from several folk traditions.
Stary Młyn also runs its own vocal groups, which a few times a year present the results of their work at a concert open to the public - a chance to see not only guests from outside, but also local residents learning to sing and work with their voice, usually for free or for a symbolic fee.
Ticket prices for concerts at Stary Młyn vary depending on the event - from a symbolic few dozen zlotys (PLN) for the jazz festival to free admission for some concerts by amateur groups. It is best to book tickets in advance on the centre's website, as the concert hall has a limited number of seats. The trip from Łódź takes about half an hour, so anyone looking for a wider concert offer on the same evening can also check concerts in the region's capital at the same time.
