On 6 April 2018 the Lower Silesian Philharmonic will host a concert within the programme of the Institute of Music and Dance "Composer – resident".

The evening will start with Three pieces for chamber orchestra by Andrzej Kopeć – a Polish composer of the young generation, a two-time winner of the Silesian Composers' Tribune in Katowice and Tadeusz Baird Competition for Young Composers. In his work he eagerly uses computer techniques, composes for solo instruments, chamber, choral and orchestral ensembles and creates projects using electronic devices. He cooperates, among others, with the Warsaw Dance Theater, the Musical Theater in Lublin, the Center for the Meeting of Cultures in Lublin, the Sudeten Philharmonic in Wałbrzych, the Legnica Culture Center, the Heavens of Copernicus Planetarium, the "Artelier" Festival in Szczecin. He also lectures at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw.

His work will be presented by the Symphony Orchestra of the Lower Silesian Philharmonic under the direction of Szymon Makowski. In addition, the ensemble will perform Symphony No. 102 by Joseph Haydn, one of the last 12 of his symphonies written during his second stay in London, and Symphony No. 5 by Sergey Prokofiev. According to the composer's statement, it is "a hymn to free and happy Man, to his mighty powers, his pure and noble spirit".
