Seifert Night in Pandemic - or Seifert Online Concerts - was realized after the 4th Seifert Competition was held entirely online due to pandemic constraints. The success of the competition, combined with the unique global situation, provided the impetus for the creation of a series of concerts broadcast on YouTube and Facebook of the Seifert Competition.

The concert by the exceptional duo - Dutch cello master Ernst Reijseger and French-Italian violinist Mario Forte - was one of the highlights of the series Seifert Online Concerts, realized in the difficult time of the pandemic thanks to the support of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The artists were also accompanied by percussionist Jamie Peet.
Mario Forte, winner of the 2018 edition, known for his extraordinary versatility and exploration at the intersection of genres, performed alongside Ernst Reijseger - a prominent cellist and composer of film music for Werner Herzog's works (such as. The White Diamond, Cave of Forgotten Dreams) and collaborator with such artists and ensembles as Uri Caine, Yo-Yo Ma, Trilok Gurtu, Ensemble Modern and Dutch Wind Ensemble.
