Media patronage: Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC

On the 14^th of October 14, 2022 at 19.00 the Symphony Orchestra of the Silesian Philharmonic will be conducted by Daniel Oren - an outstanding personality and a juror of the upcoming 11^th International Grzegorz Fitelberg Competition for Conductors. The concert will be an opportunity to encounter the work of the Competition Patron - the Poem Song of the Falcon and the work of one of his closest friends, Karol Szymanowski.

The solo part in Karol Szymanowski's Violin Concerto No. 2 - a composition arranged by Grzegorz Fitelberg - will be performed by Jakub Jakowicz. Similarily to the 1^st Concerto, this one is dedicated to the composer's friend - violinist Paweł Kochański, author of cadences to both concertos. Jakub Jakowicz will also perform during the Conductors' Competition in 2023.

The evening will end with Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 ‘Eroica’, an apotheosis of heroism.
