Warmia and Mazury Philharmonic in Olsztyn will host a concert on February 5, 2017 marking the 140th anniversary of Feliks Nowowiejski’s birth.

Nowowiejski spent WWI in Berlin serving as a member of a military orchestra. At the end of the war, he settled in Poznań where he actively participated in reviving the cultural life of the city by organizing symphonic, choral and organ concerts, and by working as a teacher. At that time, he composed several patriotic songs, arrangements of folk music (such as 25 Polish Folk Songs from Warmia), opera The Legend of the Baltic, choral compositions (Missa pro Pace, Missa Stella Maris) and cantatas.

The concert celebrating the 140th anniversary of composer’s birth will be performed by Cantores Varmienses Choir (dir. by Benedykt Błoński), tenor Szymon Rona, pianist Agnieszka Panasiuk, and actress Irena Telesz.
