The 80th birthday of Maciej Małecki

The Kraków Philharmonic invites you on 18 December 2020 at 6.00 p.m. for a concert of Christmas carols "Before the First Star", dedicated to the 80th birthday of Maciej Małecki. The online event will be broadcast on the Philharmonic's YouTube channel.

The Kraków Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir conducted by Grzegorz Brajner will perform Maciej Małecki's Silent Night – a concert of Christmas carols for choir and string chamber orchestra.

The original arrangement of selected Christmas carols and pastorals was written in 2006 and enjoys great popularity to this day. In 2008 the concert was recorded by the Polish Chamber Choir "Schola Cantorum Gedanensis" and the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Sopot conducted by Jan Łukaszewski and released by the Carus-Verlag publishing house in Germany. Until now, Silent Night has been performed many times by Polish choirs and orchestras. The fragments have also been performed in the USA and Germany.
