Katowice | Concert of the New Music Orchestra

NOSPR

New Music Orchestra will premiere Violin Concerto No. 2 by Tomasz Jakub Opałka on 22nd April 2018 at 6.00 p.m. in the Katowice headquarters of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra.

The form of concerto and the concerto technique, although most associated with baroque and classicism, have lost nothing of their relevance in the output of contemporary composers. Feeling the potential resulting from the relationship between the soloist and the orchestra, and from the new properties of music material, the composers eagerly write in this genre.

The programme of the April concert will include: Bird's concerto by Barbara Kaszuba, Concerto in E-flat ‘Dumbarton Oaks’  by Igor Stravinsky, and Violin Concerto No. 2 'Afterglow' by Tomasz Jakub Opałka. Katarzyna Duda and Marta Grygier will perform as soloists along with the New Music Orchestra under the baton of Szymon Bywalec.

The premiere of Opałka's concert is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage as part of the "Composition Commissions" programme, implemented by the Institute of Music and Dance.
