Silesian Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Yaroslav Shemet, who will be a member of the jury in November, will perform works by Karol Szymanowski, Stanisław Skrowaczewski - honorary chairman of the jury of the 7^th Fitelberg Competition, as well as the 7^th Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, which will effectively conclude this musical meeting.

The concert will open with Karol Szymanowski's Concert Overture in E major - the first orchestral piece written by him, premiered in 1906 by Grzegorz Fitelberg. A few years later, the Patron of the International Conductors' Competition, together with Szymanowski, prepared a new instrumentation of the work - a version that will be played on the 29^th of September at the Silesian Philharmonic.
