On November 28, 2018 at 7.00 p.m., there will be a concert of the FCUM Brass and Woodwind Band as part of the cycle "Wednesday on Okólnik Street".
The programme of the musical evening in the Concert Hall of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music will include: Clarinet Concert in B flat major by Karol Kurpiński, Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare by Richard Strauss, Petite symphonie, Op. 90 by Charles Gounod, Memorial to Lidice by Bohuslav Martinu, Polonaise for Friends by Maciej Małecki, Suite Française by Darius Milhaud, and Two-Bone Concerto for two trombones and orchestra by Johan de Meij.
Maciej Małecki's work was commissioned by the United States Air Force Orchestra in Europe and combines two national anthems: Poland and the United States. This stylistic treatment is a symbol of friendship between the two countries. Placing the work in the program of the Wednesday concert has a special dimension, as the Orchestra will be led by the American conductor Robert W. Rumbelow – the first conductor of the university band.
Tickets for PLN 15 on sale from November 14, 2018.
