Warsaw | Symphonic Concert at the Warsaw Philharmonic

The outstanding Polish violinist Agata Szymczewska will perform with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of José Maria Florêncio on 13 March 2021 at 6.00 p.m. at the Warsaw Philharmonic.

In the 1860s, Henryk Wieniawski held the position of a soloist at the tsarist court and taught violin at the Petersburg Conservatory. His Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor, Op. 22, completed and premiered in St. Petersburg under Anton Rubinstein in 1862, was published eight years later and dedicated to his dear friend Pablo de Sarasate. It remains one of the most popular violin concertos of the Romantic era, memorable for its lush and moving melodies and harmonies.

Musique de la lumière et de la pénombre, a subtle, colourful and intriguing work by Krzysztof Meyer, was commissioned by notabu.ensemble neue musik from Düsseldorf on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. The composition was dedicated to the conductor Mark-Andreas Schlingensiepen and had its premiere on 31 January 2014. Sergei Prokofiev's Symphony in D major, Op. 25, also known as "The Classical", was composed as a modern reinterpretation of the classical style of Franz Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The symphony's nickname was bestowed upon it by the composer. It has remained one of Prokofiev's most popular works.
