The 19th of April, 2023 marks the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. On that day, at 8 p.m. a concert will take place at the Grand Theater - National Opera, which, apart from a symbolic message and paying homage to both Jewish and Polish victims of Nazi terror, emphasizes the importance of Polish-Jewish relations based on mutual respect for the common centuries-old tradition and historical truth.
It is also a meeting of young musicians from Poland and Israel, whose main idea is to break down barriers and stereotypes, create new relationships between the young generation of Poles and Jews, which is why musicians from both countries, remembering the past, will perform for the future. The Polish-Israeli Youth Symphony Orchestra ‘Memory and Future’, featuring students of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music, the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, and the Polish National Youth Choir will perform together with Anna Sułkowska-Migoń, the conductor. The soloists will be Pavel Tolstoy, Aleksandra Florek, Dominika Kazimierska, Natalia Darkowska and cantor Nachman Turgeman.
Programme of the concert includes the premiere performance of Tenebrae by Elżbieta Sikora and the Symphony No. 8 ‘Polish Flowers’ by Mieczysław Weinberg.
