Gala concert on the occasion of 100th anniversary of Edward Czerny’s birthday will take place on October 21, 2017 at Krakow Philharmonic.

In 2017 we celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of Edward Czerny (1917-2003), an excellent Polish composer whose music forms a bridge between the Polish pre-war jazz and the Polish jazz school as we know it today. Edward Czerny was a conductor, multi-instrumentalist, composer, journalist, founder of the first Polish jazz big band.

His pieces will be performed by Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Wojciech Rodek along with soloists: Adam Makowicz – piano, Anna Serafińska – soprano, Dawid Czernik – violin, Paweł Sztompke – MCs.
