The concert will open with a composition that is known to everyone, regardless of music knowledge: Also sprach Zarathustra of Richard Strauss. 

The second item on the programme will be Henryk Mikołaj Górecki's Kyrie, one of his last works, part of the mass to have been commissioned by John Paul II. 

In the final of the evening we will hear the monumental Exodus by Wojciech Kilar - in the year of his 90^th birthday, which was celebrated in July.
