On February 18, 2019 at 7.00 p.m. at the Polish Theatre in Poznań, artists from countries involved in both sides of the conflict, known as the Great War, which shook the world at the beginning of the 20th century, will meet to play a concert together.
Referring to events from 100 years ago, musicians from Germany, France, Japan and Poland will perform works by composers who lived and created in the years 1914-1918 and on whom, like on thousands of their countrymen, the war has left its painful mark. The concert will take place on February 18, 2019. This date is almost exactly on the 100th anniversary of the end of the Greater Poland Uprising (the Uprising ceased on February 16, 1919). The partner of the event is the Polish Theater in Poznań, where artists will perform on a large stage. The choice of place is not accidental and in this case it refers to the rich tradition from the turn of 19th and 20th century, that is combining theater evenings with concerts.
The musical idea behind this project is deeply rooted in history – each work describes a fragment of the history of the First World War. Sopranist Cécile Achille, violinist Airi Suzuki, pianist Hinrich Alpers and the Inter-Opera Orchestra conducted by Adam Domurat will present compositions by R.V. Williams, M. Ravel, G. Faure, R. Stephan, C. Debussy, F. Poulenc and K. Szymanowski.
