A symphony concert on the occasion of the 110th death anniversary of Zygmunt Noskowski and the 150th birth anniversary of Albert Roussel will take place on March 22, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kraków Philharmonic.
The concert will begin with The Steppe by Zygmunt Noskowski – the first Polish symphonic poem, expressively depicting events at the Ukrainian steppes in the 17th century described in Henryk Sienkiewicz's Trilogy. The work will be performed by the Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Charles Olivieri-Munroe, the artistic director and main conductor of the Cracow Philharmonic from the 2015/2016 season.
Next, we will listen to the brilliant Piano Concerto in G major by Maurice Ravel with the solo part performed by Charles Richard-Hamelin – one of the most promising contemporary Canadian pianists, winner of the second prize and Krystian Zimerman award for the best sonata performance at the 17th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2015. The evening will end with Albert Roussel's impressionist Symphony No. 3.
