In the jubilee year marking the centenary of Poland regaining its Independence, the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra will celebrate this wonderful anniversary with three concerts on November 11!

An event that is a kind of prelude to the celebration will be held on November 9 at 7:30 pm. During the concert, Faithful Journey – A Mass for Poland by Roxanna Panufnik will be performed for the first time. The premiere of the work will be preceded by Sinfonia sacra by Andrzej Panufnik. The programme will thus combine the works of father and daughter, becoming a beautiful symbol of attachment and respect for patrimony.

On a day of great historical significance, 11th November 2018, the NOSPR will perform under the baton of Michał Klauza with the NFM Choir, Polish National Youth Choir and soloists: Iwona Hossa, Ewa Wolak, Łukasz Załęski and Wojciech Gierlach. The programme of the concert at 12.00 pm will feature works of great Polish composers of the 20th century: Wojciech Kilar's Bogurodzica and Te Deum, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki's Totus Tuus and Krzysztof Penderecki's Fanfare for the Independent Poland, specially composed for this occasion.

The next event will take place in the evening, at 7.00 pm. Music lovers will be invited not only to listen to the Polish Fantasy in G sharp minor for piano and orchestra by Ignacy Jan Paderewski performed by Piotr Sałajczyk and NOSPR under the baton of Tomasz Chmiel, but also to join in the singing of patriotic songs.

The celebration day will end with Miuosh's project – "NIEPODLEGŁA music" (at 9.00 pm).
