Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra under the baton of Michail Jurowski will give a special concert on February 11, 2016 in the Warsaw Philharmonic. It will be the conductor’s 1st performance with the Orchestra and the 1st appearance at the Warsaw Philharmonic’s stage.
The conductor grew up in a musically endowed family, surrounded by such great artists as David Oistrakh, Mstislav Rostropovich, Pavel Kogan, Emil Gilels and Aram Khachaturian. One of his family’s close friends was Dmitri Shostakovich, who used to play four-hand piano pieces with Michail. It is not surprising, therefore, that today Michail Jurowski is one of the leading interpreters of Shostakovich’s music. In 2012, he was awarded the third International Shostakovich Prize by the "Shostakovich Gohrisch" Foundation.
Throughout his career, the artist successfully conducted both symphony and opera orchestras. He worked with the most acclaimed orchestras across Europe and all over the world, including the Bolshoi Theatre, Komische Oper Berlin, WDR Rundfunkorchester in Cologne, the Opera in Leipzig, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Dresden Philharmonic and Staatskapelle Dresden, the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as the São Paulo Philharmonic Orchestra and Stavanger Philharmonic Orchestra.
