"Contemporary and classical music" will constitute the programme of the Polish Baltic Philharmonic concert on 25 September 2020 at 7.00 p.m. The Philharmonic Orchestra will be conducted by the Australian conductor Daniel Smith, winner of the Fitelberg Competition 2012, and the soloist will be the winner of the Wieniawski Competition 2006 – violinist Agata Szymczewska.
Does contemporary music have to be difficult? Mikołaj Górecki, son of the eminent Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, proves that it does not. His works combine delicate lyricism with moderately modern language and are always attractive for soloists. That is why so many of his concertos are very eagerly performed by leading Polish and foreign soloists. During the upcoming concert Agata Szymczewska will perform Mikołaj Górecki's Violin Concerto, Op. 13.
The concert will begin with the Overture to Gioacchino Rossini's opera The Barber of Seville. In the second part we will hear a masterpiece of all time – Symphony in C major No. 41 KV 551 "Jupiter" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the Overture to his opera Don Giovanni. These works provide an excellent opportunity for the orchestra to shine with full brilliance.
