Szczecin | The Prelude of Talents

On February 22, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. the orchestra of the Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin under the direction of Andrzej Boreyko will perform works of Górecki, Ravel and Stravinsky.

The concert will start with Mikołaj Górecki's Zan Tontemiquico, which title in the language of Náhuatl, spoken in the area of ​​present Mexico, in free translation means "We only come to dream." The words are taken from a poem by Tochihuitzin, a prince and a poet who lived at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. Next, we will listen to Maurice Ravel's Dafnis i Chloe Suite No. 2. The culmination of the concert will be the performance of Igor Stravinsky's ballet suite The Firebird. The premiere of the ballet in Paris in 1910 turned out to be a huge success, and Stravinsky gained the recognition of such celebrities as Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Manuel de Falla, and Jean Cocteau.
